(damage) the hu~bande of Mary
(damage) Jo~eph ~toode her by
And ~ayde he was ready
To ~erue her if nede were.
When ~he her deare ~onne ~e
She ~et him on her kne
And ~ong hydder to me.
Cum ba~~e thy mother deare
On her lap ~he him layde
And with her pappe he playde
And euer ~ang the mayde
Come ba~~e thy mother dere.
With lyppes collyng
His mouth ofte ~he dyd ki~~e
And ~ayd ~weete hert myne

To this chylde let vs pray
That borne was on this day
Of Mary the mylde may
To graunt vs all good chere.
