In freezing winter night
Language:
English
Behold, a silly tender babe in freezing winter night,
In homely manger trembling lies; alas, a piteous sight!
The inns are full, no man will yield this little pilgrim bed.
But forced he is with silly beast, in crib to shroud his head.
This stable is a Prince's court, this crib his chair of State;
The beast are parcel of his pomp, this wooden dish his plate.
The persons in that poor attire his royal liveries wear;
The Prince himself is come from Heav'n; this pomp is prizèd there.
With joy approach o Christian wight, do homage to thy King;
And highly praise his humble pomp, wich he from Heav'n doth bring.
