CLXV. I bryng tydyngys, thatte be fulle tru
(Who can sey ‘Nay’ to thys?):
Mary is moder of Ihesu,
And god ys fader ys.

An angelle came with fulle grete light
And seyde: ‘Haylle, fulle of grace.
The lorde of alle by his grete myght
In the hath take a place.’

Into here wombe dyd light,
And so thatte lorde of myghtys most
Was born of here by right.

And loue we hym alsoo,
Thatte of a mayde hath take mankynde
To bryng us owte of woo.

Wheroff none ende schalbe,
Where thatte maydyn and moder ys
Wyth Crist, here sone so fre.
