35 De natiuitate

Proface welcom wellcome
This tyme ys born a chylde of grace
þat for vs mankynde hath take, proface
A kyngs sone and an emperroure
ys comyn oute of a maydynys toure
with vs to dwelle with grete honowre—proface
This holy tyme of cristemesse
All sorwe and synne we shulde relese
and caste away all honynesse—proface
The gode lord of this place entere
Seith welcome to all þat now apere
Vnto suche fare as [?] ye fynde here—proface
Wellcome be this new ere
And loke ye all be of gode chere
Oure lorde god be at oure denere—proface
