Of a rose synge we:
Misterium mirabile. (Amazing mystery)

This rose is railed on a rys;
He hath bought the prince of prys,
And in this tyme soth hit ys,
Viri sine semine. (Men without children (?)
Of a rose, &c.

This rose is reed of colour bryght,
Throw whom oure joye gan alyght,
Uppon a Cristys masse nyght,
Claro David germine. (Born of David's line)
Of a rose, &c.

Of this rose was Cryst y-bore,
To save mankynde that was forlore;
And us alle from synnes sore,
Prophetarum carmine. (prophetic song)
Of a rose, &c.

This rose, of flourys she is flour,
She ne wole fade for no shour,
To synful men she sent socour,
Mira plenitudine. (Full wonderful)
Of a rose, &c.

This rose is so faire of hywe,
In maide Mary that is so trywe,
Y-borne was lorde of virtue,
Salvator sine crimine. (The irreproachable Saviour )
Of a rose, &c.
