Joye XIII
The Joy of the Ascension
The speaker asks Mary to pray that Christ draw them after him, recalling the joy of the Ascension, and closes with the Ave Maria.
Pray to your Son that he draw me to follow him, for the joy you had at the Ascension when he rose into heaven—it is true—so that I may truly have salvation. Ave Maria.

Pries ton filz qu'après lui il me traye, Pour la joye qu'eus a l'Ascension, Quant il monta ou ciel, c'est chose vraye, Si vrayement ay je salvacion. Ave Maria.
