Mediaeval Baebes "Suscipe Flos Florem" lyrics

Translation to:enuk

Suscipe Flos Florem

Suscipe flos floremQuia flos designat amoremIllo de floreNimio sum captus amore

Hunc florem floraDulcissima semper odoraNam velut auroraFiet tua forma decora

Florem flora videQuem dum videas mihi rideFlorem flora teneTua vox cantus philomene

Oscula des floriRubeo flos convenit oriFlos in picturaNon est flos immo figura

Qui pingit floremNon pigit floris odoremOscula des floriRubeo flos convenit ori

Take thou this rose (Suscipe Flos Florem)

Take thou this rose, o roseSince love’s own flower it isAnd by that roseThy lover captive is

Smell thou this rose, o roseAnd know thyself as sweetAs dawn is sweet

Look at this rose, o roseAnd looking laugh on meAnd in thy laughter’s ringThe nightingale shall sing

Kiss thou this rose, o roseThat it may knowThe scarlet of thy mouth

O rose, this painted roseIs not the wholeWho pains the flowerPaints not its fragrant soul
