Retrowange novelle
Language: Old French (Ancien français)
Retrowange novelle, Dirai et bone et belle De la virge pucelle, Ke meire est et ancelle Celui ki de sa chair belle Nos ait raicheteit Et ki trestous nos apelle A sa grant clairteit. Ce nos dist Isaïe En une profesie : D une verge delgie, De Jessé espanie, Istroit flors per signorie De tres grant biaulteit. Or est bien la profesie Torneie a verteit. Celle verge delgie Est la virge Marie; La flor nos senefie, De ceu ne douteis mie, Jhesu Crist, ki la haichie En la croix sousfri. Fut por randre ceaus en vie Ki ierent peri.
