Mediaeval Carols:Set 8 .-
Nowell, nowell: Tidings true
( Nowell, nowell, nowell ; Tidings true there be come new sent from Trinity ; When he first presented was before her fair visage ; Hail, virgin celestial, the meekest that ever was ; Suddenly she, abashed truly, but not all thing dismayed ; Then again to her certain answered the angel ; Not yet, he said, six months past thy cousin Elizabeth ; Then again to the angel she answered womanly )
