Maria. The fadyr of hevyn and ȝe it is,

Other fadyr hath be non;

I dede nevyr forfete with man i-wys;

Wherfore I pray ȝow amende ȝour mon,—

This childe is Goddys and ȝour.

Joseph. Goddys childe! thou lyist, in fay;

God dede nevyr jape so with may,

And I can nevyr ther, I dare wel say,

ȝitt so nyh thi boure.

But ȝit I sey, Mary, whoos childe is this?
