Early Christmas Carols.

Christmas carols have been sung ever
since the rude tribes of Germany were
converted TO Christianity. There are
books by the score containing hundreds
of them. Bishop Taylor observes that
the ''Gloria in Excelsis." the well known
hymn sung by the angels to the shep-
herds at our Lords Nativity. was the
earliest Christmas carol. Bourne cites
Durandus to prove that in earlier ages
of the church the bishops were accus-
toned ON Christmas day to sing carols
among their clergy. The original of the
Anglo Norman carol TRANSLATED by
Douce) of the date Thirteenth century
is in the British museum. 1t begins:
Now. Lordings. listen to our ditty.
Strangers coming from afar:
Let poor minstrels move your pity,
Give US welcome, soothe our care.
In 1921, Wynkyn de Warde printed a
set Of Christmas carols. One of them was
"a Carol bryngyng in the Bore's Head.
Chaucer alludes to it in his ''Franklein's
Tale"
James sitteth by the firs with double herd.
And he drlnketh of his bugle-horne the wine
Before him stanGeth the braune OF the tusked

There never was such clear, glorious
Christmas eve since the wise men from

indicating the happy abodes of settlers,

told of home, and the musical laughter
of children whose special eve it was.
