2.- Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,

Christo patriarca, de carne vestido;
hanos redimido con se hacer chiquito,
a un qu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.
5.- Este viene a dar a los muertos vida

y viene a reparar de todos la cada;
es la luz del da aqueste mozuelo;
este es el cordero que San Juan dixera.
3.- Muchas profecias lo han profetizado,

Ya un nuestros dias lo hemos al consado
Adios humanado vemos en el suelo,
Yal hombre nelcielo porquel le quistera.
6.- Mira bien queos quadre que ansina lo oyera,

Que Dios no pudiera hacer la mas que madre,
El quera su padre hoy della nascio
Y el que la drio su hijo so dixera.
4.- Yo vi mil garzones que andaban cantando,

por aqu volando, haciendo mil sones,
diciendo a gascones: "Gloria sea en el cielo
y paz en el suelo", pues de sus nasciera.
7.- Pues que ya tenemos lo que deseamos,

todos juntos vamos, presentes llevemos;
todos le daremos muestra voluntad,
pues a se igualar con el hombre viniera.
