Text

1.
<V.> Nunc clerici cantantes
iubilent resonantes
dulciter organa

V. Ihesum Christum laudantes
grates que referentes
decantent osanna

R° Conanus cum esset
princeps sed paganus
ursulam adamavit
que Christum adoravit
spernendo ydola

2.
V. O mira genitura
in hac virgine pura
de stirpe regia

V. Legiones beavit
deoque dedicavit
undena milia

R° Angelus apparens
docet per sompnia
ut virgo impetraret
conanus expectaret
hanc per trienia

3.
V. O laudabilis rosa
puella generosa
tantam familiam

V. Sagaciter regendo
cantando et legendo
duxit coloniam

R° Sed furiosus princeps
tirranus perfidus
puellas iugulavit
sagittis penetravit
ut canis rabidus

4.
V. Illos de valle tristi
in synum Ihesu Christi
fert gens barbarica

V. Currunt agnum sequentes
in albis procedentes
cum laude celica

R° Horum agminum ductrix
ursula florida
te petimus protectrix
cleri sis atque retrix
gemma prefulgida
