] THIS flower is fair and fresh of hue, It fadeth never but ever is new ; The blissful branch whereon it grew Was Mary mild that bare Jesu, A flower of Grace Against all sorrow it is solace. When that flower began to spread And its blossom began to breed, Rich and poor of every lede ^ They marvelled how this flower might spread ; And kinges three That blessed flower come to see. Angels there came out of their town To look upon this Freshhele ^ Flower, How fair He was in His colour And how sweet... in His savour ; And to behold How such a flower might spring in gold. 1 This version is from the Douce text which is seven verses long and has an introductory verse. 2 lede, nation. ^freshJiele, fresh, and hele, health. U THE FLOWEE OF JESSE 45 Of lily, of rose of rise/ Of primerol, " of fleur de lyse, Of all the flowers at my devise That Flower of Jesse yet beareth the prize As most ^ of hele ■* To slake our sorrows every dele.^ I pray ye flowers of this country Where e'er ye go where e'er ye be, Hold up the Flower of good Jesse Before your freshness and your beauty As Fairest of all That ever was and ever shall.
