| Christmas motet written most probably for a one-to-a-part choir. |
| Lyrics: Anon Busy time this day, thou may'st go sleep or play, The groans of infants slain do count thy moments for thee; And their pain procures thy ease and gain. But blessed babes, all your laments and woes Are but like cyph'ring Os. Herod did miss the figure And til he comes to groan too you cannot signify; When his precious death shall bide, fixed by your side, Ye then shall sum unto eternity. |
