:There is no rose of such virtue,
:As is the rose that bear Jesu.
 
:For in this rose contained was
:Heaven and earth in little space;
 
:By that rose we may well see
:That he is God in persons three,
 
:The angels sungen the shepherds to:
:Gloria in excelsis Deo:
 
:Leave we all this worldly mirth,
:And follow we this joyful birth;
::'' Transeamus. ''
 
: '''''Circa 1420 '''''<br>
