Excerpt from Hymns to Jesus: From the Early English
The poems here collected, as well as the fragment of prose appended, are taken from a manuscript bearing the date of 1430. They are the work of unknown, probably of various hands.
As interesting specimens of Early English, these hymns were introduced during the year 1868, by a literary society of England, to the small circle of its members.
In preparing them for the more general reader, there has been no attempt at modernizing beyond what seemed necessary in order to render them pleasing and intelligible without the aid of glossary and notes.
