Poem of the Day: GOSCELIN.VEdith.Vers

Centena uos hinc paruulorum milia,
Herodiana mactat quos uesania,
Dulces amici sponsi collactanei,
Fouete: lactens sponsam duxit lacteam.
Vallate cunis florescentem floridis,
Quem foeta patre uirgo lactat celibe,

Cantant superna, stella signat pronuba,
Quin angelorum pastorem bos collocat.
Presepe regi celi thalamus ponitur.
