Go, lityll byll, with all humylite
Pray holy prestes that have devocion
To syng ther masse, of there benyngnite
Off this dyte to have inspeccion,
Mekely compylede vnder correccion,
Dyrecte of hert, both to more & lasse,
Of humble wyll & no presumpcion,
To prestes dysposyd ech day to syng þer masse.
