Hic dum Joseph est absens parit Maria filium unigenitum.
Joseph. Now God, of whom comythe the alle releffe,
And as alle grace in the is grownde,
So save my wyff from hurt and greffe,
Tyl I sum mydwyvys for here have fownde!
Travelynge women in care be bownde,
With grete throwys whan thei do grone;
God, helpe my wyff that sche not swownde!
I am ful sory sche is alone.
