133. with the spring.
15. This world shall be like
the stones in the street,
For the sun and the moon
shall bow down at thy feet.
(my feet in a Warwickshire broadside: Sylvester.)
17. And upon the third day
my uprising shall be,
And the sun and the moon
shall rise up with me.

For 9-13 we have, as a separate carol, in Chappell's Christmas Carols, edited by Dr E. F. Rimbault, p. 22, the following verses, traditional in Somersetshire:[4]
1
As Joseph was a walking
he heard an angel sing:
'This night shall be the birth-time
of Christ, the heavnly king.
2 'He neither shall be born
in housen nor in hall,
Nor in the place of Paradise,
but in an ox's stall.
3 'He neither shall be clothed
in purple nor in pall,
But in the fair white linen
that usen babies all.
4 'He neither shall be rocked
in silver nor in gold,
But in a wooden manger,
that resteth on the mould.'
