“Mary, Mother of God! no lady though: Common woman of common earth! Our lady ladies call thee now, But christ was never of gentle birth; A common man of the common earth. For God's ways are not as our ways. the noblest lady in the land Would have given up half her days, Would have cut off her right hand To bear the Child that was God of the land... And still for men to come she sings, Nor shall her singing pass away. He hatch filled the hungry with good things' - O listen, lords and ladies gay! - 'And the rich He hatch sent empty away.'”
