I wolde yow synge for and I myghgt, Off a chylde ys fayre in syghgt, Hys modyr hym bare thys yndyrs hyght so stylle-a, And as yt was hys wylle-a. There cam .iij. kynges fro Galylee Into Bethleem that fayre cytee, To seke hym that ever shulde be a ryght-a Lorde and kynge and knyght-a As they cam forth with there offrynge, They met with Herode that mody kynge, Thys tyde-a, And thys to them he sayde-a. "Off wens be ye, yow kynges .iij.?" "Off the Este, as ye may see, To seke hym that ever shulde be by ryghgt-a Lorde and kynge and knyght-a." "Wen yow at thys chylde have be, Cum home a3eyne by me, Telle me the sygh3tes that yow have see, I praye yow; Go yow no nodyr way-a." They toke her leve both olde and yonge Off Herode that mody kynge; They went forth with there offrynge by lygh3th-a, By the sterre that shoone so brygh3t-a. Tyll they came in to the place There Jhesu and yhs modyr was, Offryd they up with grete solace in fere-a Golde and sense and hyrre-a. The fadyr of hevyn an awngylle down sent, To thyke .kkj. kynges that made presente thys tyde-a, And thys to them he sayd-a. "My lorde have warnyd yow everychone, By Herode kynge yow go not home; For and yo do, he wylle you slone and strye-a, And hurte yow wondyrly-a." Forth them wente thys kynges .iij., Tylle they came home to there cuntre. Glade and blyth they were alle .iij. Off the sygh3tes that they had to see, by-dene-a, The cumpany was clene-a. Knele we now here a-down, Pray we in good devocioun To the kynge of grete renow, of grace-a, In hevyn to have a place-a. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
