And syng we ȝole tyl Candelmes.

THE fyrst day of ȝole have we in mynd,

How God was man born of owre kynd;

For he the bondes wold onbynd

Of all owre synnes and wykednes.

The secund day we syng of Stevene,

That stoned and steyyd up even

To God that he saw stond in hevyn,

And crounned was for hys prouesse.
