Original text and translations

Middle English and Latin text Ther is no rose of swych virtu As is the rose that bar Jhesu. Alleluia.   For in this rose conteyned was Heven and erthe in lytle space. Res miranda. Be that rose we may weel see That he is God in personys thre. Pari forma. Leave we all this worldly mirth, And follow we this joyful birth. Transeamus. The aungelys sungyn the sheperdes to: "Gloria in excelsis Deo." Gaudeamus.

German translation Keine Rose ist tugendhafter als die Rose, die Jesus gebar: Halleluja. Denn in dieser Rose fanden sich Himmel und Erde vereint: Res miranda. Diese Rose offenbart uns die Dreifaltigkeit des einen Gottes: Pares forma. Weltliche Freuden hinter uns lassend wenden wir uns dieser freudigen Geburt zu: Transeamus.
