{{Text|2|Latin|English| 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. </poem>
