Folytatjuk a sorozatot. Ezúttal egy ismeretlen angol költő "There is no Rose" című verse a téma, amelyre a karácsonyi kórusmű harmadik darabja íródott.
There is no rose of such vertu
As is the rose that bare Jesu.
Alleluia.
For in this rose conteined was
Heaven and earth in litel space,
Res miranda. [Marvelous thing.]
By that rose we may well see
There be one God in persons three,
Pares forma. [Equal in nature.]
The aungels sungen the shepherds to
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gaudeamus. [Let us rejoice.]
Leave we all this werldly merth
And follow we this joyous birth,
Transeamus. [Let us pass over.]
