20 De innocentibus

Psallite gaudentes, infantum festa colentes
When god was born of mary ffre
herode the kyng of galalee
was meued to malice by kyngs thre
munera portantes, Regem natum venerantes
Herode sende for men armed bryzth
To seke and sle the kyng of lyzth
The blessed chylde drow fro herods myzth
Armati sunt perimentes.
