RES MIRANDA - A MATTER FOR MARVEL





  There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu:
Alleluia.

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

By that rose we may well see
That he is God in persons three:
Pari forma.

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

sing this wonderful carol.)
