Notes
Image 2 contains a verse, "Carol", u.c to l.r., "Carol/ all this night shrill chant-/ icler,/ Day's proclaiming trumpeter/ Claps his wings and loud-/ly cries:/ "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.".
