Marye, maide, milde and fre,
Chambre of the Trinite,
One while lest to me,
Ase ich thee grete with songe.
Thagh my fet unclene be,
My mes thou onderfonge.
Thou art Quene of Paradis,
Of Hevene, of erthe, of all that is;
Thou bere thane Kinge of bliss,
Withoute senne and sore.
Thou hast iright that was amis,
Iwonne that was ilore.
Thou art the colvere of Noe,
That broughte the braunche of olive tre
In tokne that pais sholde be
Betwexte God and manne.
Swete Levedy, help thou me
Whanne ich shall wende hanne.
Thou art the boshe of Sinai,
Thou art the righte Sarray;
Thou hast ibrought ous out of cry
Of calenge of the Fende;
Thou art Christes owene drury,
And of Davies kende.
