Quid petis, o fili?
Mater dulcissima ba ba.
O pater, o fili
Mihi plausus oscula da da.
The mother, full mannerly
and meekly as a maid,
looking on her little son,
so laughing in lap laid
so prettily, so pertly,
so passingly well apay’d
full softly and full soberly
unto her sweet son she said:
Quid petis, o fili?
Mater dulcissima ba ba.
I mean this by Mary,
our maker’s mother of might,
full lovely looking on our Lord
the lantern of light.
Thus saying to our saviour:
this saw I in my sight,
this reason that I read you now,
I read it full right.
Quid petis, o fili?
Mater dulcissima ba ba.
Musing on her manners
So nigh marr’d was my main
Save it pleased me so passingly
That past was my pain;
Yet softly to her sweet son
Methought I heard her sain:
Now gracious God and good sweet babe
Yet once this game again.
Quid petis, o fili?
Mater dulcissima ba ba.
O pater, o fili
Mihi plausus oscula da da.
