Image 2 contains a verse "Carol", u.c. - l.r., "CAROL/ all this night shrill chant-/icler,/ Day's proclaiming trumpeter/ Claps his wings and loud/ ly cr[i]es:/ 'Mortals! Mortals! wake/ and rise!/ See a wonder./ Heaven is under ;/ From the earth is risse/ a sun/ Shines all night though/ day be done".
