CXIX. Mary so mylde, so meke, so fre
Hath borne a chylde of hyghe degre,
And his name ys Ihesus.

An angelle seide to thatte meyde so fre:‘Hayle, fulle of grace: god is with the;
Of alle women blessid thou be!
Thou shalt conceyue Ihesus.’

Of theys wordys, thatte he hadde seyde:
‘Thou shalt conceyue Ihesus.’

Withyn thy wombe by his grete myght
Thou shalt conceyue Ihesus.’

Sith I entende to knowe no man
And shalle conceyue Ihesus?’

And by grace, thatte he shalle extende,

A chyld alsoo: withowte bondage

Thus to conceyue Ihesus.’

And forthwithall, as he behyght,
Sche conceyuyd Ihesus.
