الصفحة 96 - 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 beasts In crib to shroud his head. Despise him not for lying there, First, what he is inquire; An orient pearl is often found In depth of dirty mire.
