Whylle that oure mayster is in presens;
The maystry of us this childe doth gete,—
We must hym wurchep with hyȝ reverens!
Come forthe, swete babe of grett excellens,
The whysest clerke that evyr ȝett was born;
To ȝow we ȝeve the hyȝ resydens,
Us more to teche, as ȝe have done beforn.
Hic adducunt Jhesum inter ipsos et in scanno altiori ipsum sedere faciunt, ipsis in inferioribus scannis sedentibus, et ait.
Secundus doctor. So ȝonge a chylde suche clergye to reche,
And so sadly to say it, we woundyr sore.
