Mediaeval Carols:Set 8 .-
Saint Thomas honour we
( Saint Thomas honour we ; All Holy Church was but a thrall ; The king exiled him out of land ; All ben exiled that to him lang ; Six year he had povert and woe ; The king but little while him spared ; The corn o'ercast, the chaff light low ; On Tuesday born, accused also )
