There is no Rose Christmas Poem 15th Century
There is no rose of such virtue
As in the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluya
For in this rose was
Heaven and earth in little space
Res Miranda.
By that rose we well may see
That he is God in persons three,
Pari forma
The angels sungen the shepherds to:
'Gloria in excelsis Deo.'
Gaudeamus.
Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth.
Transeamus.
15th Century Christmas Poem

Translation.
Res Miranda. A thing to be marvelled at.
Pari forma. Of the same form.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Glory to God in the Highest.
Gaudeamus. Let us Rejoice.
Transeamus. Let us Depart
