Of on that is so fair and bright,
|
Velud maris stella,
|
Brighter than the dayes light,
|
Parens et puella:
|
Ic crye to thee--thou se to me-
|
Levedy, preye thy sone for me,
|
Tam pia,
|
That ic mote come to thee,
|
Maria.
|
|
Levedy, flowr of alle thing,
|
Rosa sine spina,
|

|
Gratia divina.
|
Of alle thu berst the pris,
|
Levedy, quene of paradis
|
Electa;
|
Maide milde, moder es
|
Effecta.
|
|
All this world was foremore
|
Eva peccatricce,
|
Till our Lord was ibore
|
De te genetrice.
|
With "Ave" it went away,
|
Thuster night, and cometh the day
|
Salutis.
|
The welle springeth ut of thee
|
Virtutis.
|
|
Of care, conseil thou ert best,
|
Felix fecundata;
|
Of alle wery thou ert rest.
|
Mater honorata.
|
Besek him now with milde mod,
|
That for ous alle sad his blod
|
In cruce,
|
That we moten comen till him
|
In luce.
