Classic Poem

There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bear Jesu:
Allelulia .

For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space:
Res Miranda .

By that rose we may well see
There be one God in Persons Three:
Pares forma .

The angels sang, the shepherds too:
Gloria in Excelsia Deo:
Gaudeamus .

Leave we all this worldly mirth
And follow we this joyful birth:
Transeamus .
