§71 Mary, for thine joys fyve, Teche me the vey to ryth lyve. §72 Be glad, of al maydens flourre, That hast in hevene swich honoure To passe in hye blisse Aungelys and othur seints also; The joye is nought like therto Of eny that ther isse. Be gladde, Goddis spouse bright, That gevest ther gretter light To the hevenli place Than evir dede sunne on erthe here When hit was brightis and most clere In the midday space. Be glad, of vertues vessel clene, To whom obeith as right quene The court of heven on hyghe, And worschipeth withoute stynting Thorwe thankinges and be blessing And endeles melodie. Be glad, moder of Jesu dere, That spedist alle way thi prayere Byfore the Trinité. As God wil, suich is thi wille; There may no wight sinful spille On whom thou has pité. Be glad, moder of hevene king, Swich he wol, aftir plesing, To thi servaunt trewe Graunt bothe mede and reward Here and also aftirward In joye that ever is newe. Be glad, mayden and moder swete, Next the Sone thou hast a sete, Iglorified blisfulli. And this we saddely beleve, But how, openly descrive Ne may no thing ertheli. Be glad, of oure gladnesse welle, That art seker ay to dwelle In mirthe that hath non ende, Which schal never were ne wast; Therto bringe us, moder chast, When we hen wende. Thus, thou blessed quene of hevene, I worschipe thee with joyes sevene In alle that y may. When y schal leve this soreful lyf, Be to me redy in that strif, Lady, y thee pray. Lady, for these joyes sevene And for thi gladnesse five, Bringe me to the blisse of hevene Thorwe grace of clene lyfe. §73 Heyle be thou, ladye so bryght: Gabriel that seyde so ryght, "Cryst ys wyth thee." Swettyst and swotyst in syght, Modyr and mayde of myght, Have mercy on mee. Hayle be thou, fynest to fonde: Jesu thy sone, y undyrstonde, Of thee borne he was. Glad were thou, lef in londe, Tho thou haddyst in honde The prynce of oure pees. Heyle, ladye, flower of alle thynges: Ryally three ryche kynges, Derely dyght, Comely wyth knelynges, Broughten thi sone three thynges; The sterre was lyght. Hayle, gladdyst of alle wyve: Aryse fro deth to lyve Thy sone, tho thou syghe. Blyssyd be thoo woundys fyve That made mannys soule to thryve In heven so hyghe. Heyle, joye in hert and in yghe: Wyth yghe thy sylf thoo thou syghe On Holy Thursdaye, Jesu thi sone all upstyghe Hoom into heven so hyghe, The apostles to paye. Heyle, ladye, full of all blys, Tho that thou wentyst wysse To blys soo bryght, That blys God lete us never mysse, Marye; thou us wysely wysse Be daye and be nyght.

Levedi Mari, wele thu wast, The feindes fraistes me ful fast, Wele I hope I sal thaim cast Thoru might of thee, Quen I neven thi suete nam I ger thaim fle. Thir jois er said als I can sai Mi site, mi soru, I cast away, Nu help me, levedi, wele thu may, And be mi spere. Fra the har pain of hell thu me were.
