PAX IN TERRIS (Fr·o m a Nativity Play of the 13th Century)
Gregorian Chant
The Officium Pastorum was a dramatic development ..within the Liturgy of
Christmas. It was attached to the end of the office of Matins, link\ng that
Office to the lntr.o it of the Mid· ight Mass. l'n l'eSIPonse to the cele\srtial
n
measage of the angels, the P.a x in Tel'J:is was sung lby the shepherds as
they advanced 1 tne choir. The full text, verbal a1 musicial, has been
to
nd
chos·en from a gradual of Rouen.
Pax in terris nuntiatur
In txcel:sis gloria
Caelo terra faederatur
Mediante gratia.
Peace on earth is announced;
ln the highest, glory.
Heaven and earth are united
By mediating grace.
Mediator, homo, Deu.;
Descendit in propria,
Ut ascendat homo reus
Ad ad~nissa gaudia, Eya! Eya!
The Mediator, man-God,
Has descended to His own,
That man may ascend and be admitted
To hi~; promised joy. Behold! Behold!
Trans.e amus, videamus
Ve1·bum hoc quod factum est,
Transeamus ut sciamus
Quod nuntiatum est.
Let u:s go over, Jet us see
That Word which has been niade (flesh)
Let us go over, let us know
That which has been announced.
In Judaea Puer vagit,
Puer salus populi,
Quo bellandum se praesagit
Versus hostes saeculi.
In Judea the Child is weeping
The Child, Salvation ·o f the people,
Who hast taken on Himself to wage war
Against the ancient enemy.
Accedamus, accedamus
Ad pr aesepe Domini,
Et dicamus:
Laus fecundae Virgini.
Let us apptoach, let u:s approach
The cr4:b of the Lord,
And let us express our
Praise to the Virgin-mother.
ALLELUiiA-PSALLAT (3 Voices by .Small Group)
(From the Worcester Mediaeval Harmony)
•
Late 13th Century
Dom Anselm Hughes calls attention to the re·s emblance between this charmin example of 13<th Century English carlmi and the well-known "Sumer is
icumen in."
Alleluia psallat haec familia
Alleluia timpanis et alleluia psallat
laetus coetus cum harmonia
Alleluia psallat Deo laudum
et, praeconia. Alleulia.
�SALVE VIRGO (1 Hymn Sung during the Nativity Play)
A
Gregorian Chant
As the Shepherds approached the Blessed Mother and Child, they graciously
saluted them with this charming composition im the sixth mode.
Salve, Virgo singularis,
Virgo manens Deum paris
Ante saecla generatum
Corde Patris;
Adoremus nunc creatum
Ca-rne matris.
Hail Virgin most marvelo1,1s
Who, remaining Virgin, bearest God
Begotten before the ages
In the heart of the Father.
Let us adore Him who took flesh
From the Mother.
Nos, Maria, tua prece
A peccati purga foece;
Nastri cursum incolatus;
Sic dispone
Ut det sua frui n•tus
Vi&
ione.
0 Mary, by your prayers
Set us free from our aoins.
A,pd so dispose the cou1·se of our life
That we may be made worthy
To enjoy of Hi's birth The Vision.
Guillaume Dufay (
-1474)
FLOS FLORUM (3 Voices Sung by Small Group)
A charming 3-p·a rt compositi-on.The upper voice shows a ·beginning of
coloratura, very delicate and restrained, above the se}lsitively bal~nced
rhythms of the lower ones, till all join in the slow, g,r ave, final chords.
Flos florum, Fons hortorum, Regina
polorum,
Spes, veniae, Lux laetitfae; medicina
dolorum
Virga recens Et Virgo decens Forma
bonorum,
Parc~reis Et opem fe1·eis In pace piorum
P!asce tuos, Succurre tuis miserere
tuorum.
Flower of flowers, Fountain, Queen of
heaven
o
Hope of forgiveness, ligb.t . f j.o~, solace
of grief;
Maiden, model of the geod,
Spare the sinners a.nd bring them hel·p.
In .peace .c herish your own, help them,
have mercy on them.
SALVE REGINA - MODE V (Antiphon to the Blessed Virgin~
Gt·egopian ·Chant
lAin ant~phon is a short refrain giving .a n introduction to the psalm/ which
immediately follows it. The Salve Regina, sung at Vespers from Trinity to
Advent, expresses the tenderness '<>f the Church for Ou1· Lady. ft is the
most pathetic of all prayers addressed to her.
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae:
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra,
salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii
Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes
et flentes in hac laerimarum valle.
Eia ergo, tA.dvocata nosb·a, illos
tuos m.iseric.o rdes oculos ad nos
converte. Et Jesum, benedictum
fructum ventrisl tui, nobis post hoc
eJGSilium oste.nde. 0 ·Clemens:
0 pia: 0 dulcis Virgo Maria.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
Our life, our sweetness, and our
hope all hail. T.o thee we cry,
poor banished children of Eve; 'l'o thee
we sigh, weeping .a nd mourning in
this vale ·o f tears; Therefore, 0
our ·Advocate, Turn thou -on ,u.s those
merciful eyes of thine; And after
this our exile, show us Jesus, the
blessed f. uit of thy womb, 0 merciful
r
0 kind, 0 sweet Virgin Mary.

II
The Obrecht "Missa Sine Nomine" (Kyrie, Credo, Agnus
Dei-3 Voices)
The very remarka'b le and little known Mas's f~·om which the three following nun'! bel'S
a re taken is one of the extl·emely rare exampleS! of major choral work of the 15.th
Century written exclusively for high voices. It is known that Obrecht, in his later
.years, was maitre de chapelle a\t A:ntwerp Cathedml, where hi!s choiD cl)nsisted only
of boys. Apart from its elaborate and masterly counterpoint, the emotional quality
of this music is extraodinary; esrpecially, perhaps, in the Agnus Dei.
The pathetic
second melody given out at the beg!nnir of the Kyrie against the great Cantus Firmus
ng
r ecurs again and again, while :t;he Cantus Firmus, continuous but shifting from voice
· to voice and sometimes in canon, marches majestically th1:ough the score.
KYRIE (3 Voices)
(Missa Sine Nomine)
Jacob Obrecht ( 1430-1505 )
Here the broad and grave Cantus Firmus is given out by the thil'd .\11oice,
shifts to the second for the Christe Eleffien and ·b ack to the t'hird fo. the
r
final Kyrie, while the first, ,vith increasing insistence, repeats aga.i'n a~nd
again the. wailh1g phrases of its contrasting melrody,
ALLELUIA-·MULTIFARIE-MODE VII (Feast of the Circumcision)
Gregorian Cha nt
The Alleluia melodies are amongst the oldest chants [n use. They a~·e joyous and animated, very ela'b orate in construction amd generally in the form
·o f a Jubilus·; for, as St. Augustine says "He who exults needs no words."
The Jubilus shows how ·plain chant excells in the art of combining the most
simple motifs and the most diverse. This one seems to rise even to the
ecsltasy of divine contemplation.
Alleluia
Multifarie olim Deus loquens
Patribus in prophetis,
novissime diebus istis locutus
eS{t nobi s in Filio suo. Alleluia.
Alleluia
God, who in divers manners spoke in
times past to the fathers by the p11ophets,
last of all in these days ha,th spoken
to us by Jii'S Son. Alleluia.
�)
I
CREDO (3 Voices)
Jacob Obr echt
(Missa Sine No mine )
The Credo, though f orm ed t.o a great extent from the .same thematic material as the Kyrie, is a striking contras,t.
r tarting with quick short
S
phrases in canon • etween the upper voices against the steady Cantus Firmus
b
of the third voice, the composer, after a gentle and solemn IncarnatuS', l'eturns. to his rapidly interchanging repeated triads lilnd works ~P to a bi'illiant close.
VENI S:ANCTE SPIRITUS-MODE I (Sequence: Feast of Pentecost)
Gregorian Chant
One of five Sequences still r etained in the Liturgy of the Catholic Church.
T.he melody is at firs t t ran qil, then more f1orceful, while the concluding
verses are vigorous, rushing up like the mdghty wind of Pentecost. It is 'a
beautiful examp le of the fi r st mode, used 1n its full range.
Veni, Sanc't e 1
Spiritu s,
Et emitte coelitus
Luds tuae ra.dium.
Veni pater p-auper um,
Veni dator mu:1erum,
Veni lumen cordinm.
Holy Spirit, come and shine
On our souls with beams divine,
Issuing from Thy radiance bright,
Come, 0 Fa,t her of the poor,
Ever bounteous of Thy st ore,
Come, our heart's unfailing light.
Consoiator optime,
Dulcis ho spes an im:;c.
Dulce refrigerium.
In Labore requies,
In aestu temperi <!s,
In fletu !SOlatium.
Come, Consoler, kindest, best,
Come, ·our bosom's dearest guest,
Sweet refreshmen.t, sweet repose.
Rest in la bor, coolness :Sweet,
Tempering the . uxning heat,
b
Truest comfort of our woes.
0 lux beatissima
Reple cordis intima
Tuorum fidelium.
Sine ,tuo numine,
Nihil est in homine,
Nihil est innoxium.
0 divinest light, impart
Unto every faithful heart
Plenteous streams from love's bright fl ood .
But for Thy blest Deity,
Nothing pure in man could be;'
Nothing harmless, nothing good.
Lava quod est oordidum,
Riga quod est aridum,
Sana quod est saucium. Flecte quod e• r rigidum,
st
Fove quod est fri gidum,
Rege quod est devium.
Wash away eU!ch sinful stain;
Gently shed Thy gracious r ain
On the dry and fruitless soul.
Heal each wound and bend' each will,
Warm our hearts. benum1bed and chill,
All our wayward ·steps control
Da tuis fidelibus,
In te confidentibus,
Sacrum s;eptenarium.
Da virtutis meritum,
Da salutis exitum,
Da perenne gaudium.
Amen Alleluia.
Unto all Thy faithful just,
Who in Thee confide and trust,
Deign the sevenfold gift to send.
Gra.nt us virtue's blest increase,
Grant a death of hope and peace,
Grant the joys that never end.
Amen Alleluia.

-AGNUS DEI (3 Voices)
(Misl!& Sin.e ~omine)
Jaeob Obrecht
Here the Cantus Firmus is given out by the second voice, the contrasting
theme in the first :b eing developed this time into a sequential melodic struc.
ture which seems to anticipate Taverner.
The poignant false relations
between the fhcst and third voices a)ld the insistent piling up of cumulative
figure.s : re also curiously suggestive of Taverner's style.
a
PUERI HEBRAEORUM (4 Voices)
Palestrina
Fmm the lf!l!lpl~t form of a descending minor third which is introduced
constantly with ever-increasing vigor, this compositio!l grows and grows
until the end comes in a blaze of triumph.
Pueri Hebraeorum
portantes ramis olivarum,
o•
bviaverunt Domino,
·clamantes .et qice~·tes :
Hosanna. in excelsis.
The He'b rew children
bearing branches of olives,
went forth to meet the Lord,
crying ou.t, and saying:
Ho&anna in the highest!
INTERMISSION
III
VIRGO MARIA (3 Voices)
Gaspar van Werbecke (1440A delicate little piece of 3.:par.t writing, predominantly harmonic, with an
occasion~! short jubilus in one or another .o f the voices. Only at florens ut
1
·osa is there any fugal sugge&~tion. The vertical chordl9 at Intercede ~re a
happy to'\lch.
CHRIS'TUS FACTUiS EST-MODE V
(Gradual: 'M, ss for Holy Thursday)
a
Gregorian Chant
The Fif.th Mode·, in which this chant is written, is
pre-em~nently
the mode
fJf. the grad.uals. This is one of the moslt sublime ·o f the cha'n ts, and seems
to have caught up the whole spirit of the Passion in a Wl}Y that is impos.
sible to describe. It is called the ·Classic Gradual, all! i~ is one of the most
glQrious.
Chrilstus factus est pro ,n obis
()bediens usq~ ~d mortem,
mo.Iitem autem er:uci$.
V. Propter quod et De'\}s exaltavit
ilium: et dedit illi nomen,
quod est super ·o mne nomen.
Christ .b ecame obedient for us
unto death, even to the death of
the CrOSJ!I.
V. For which cause, God also hath
exalted Him and hath given Him a
name which is above all names.
�IN MANUS TUAS DOMINE-MODE VI
(.Short Responsory sung during Compline)
Gregorian Cha.nt
In this !Simple melodic setting we cah see the beginning of the Respon110rial
form that later developed into the most • eautiful chants of t'he
b
Mass
Liturgy.
Into Thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend
my s·p irit. Thou hast redeemed us,
0 Lord the Godl of Truth. Glory be
to the Father,
et Filio, et t piritui Sancto
S
and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
Custodi nos Domine ut pupillam oculi.
Guard us, 0 Lord, as the pupil of Thine
eye.
Sub u1nbra alarum tuarum protege nos. Under the shadow of Thy wings pro.
tect us.
[n manus taus Domine Commendo
spiritum meum. Redemisti nos Domine,
Deus veritatis. Gloria Patri,
JUDAS MERCATOR (4 Voices)
Vittoria (1540-1611)
The terrific ·c haracter of .the words calls for just Vittoria's special gift of
tragic simplicity: a simpliciby possible only to consummate craftsmanship.
The isolation of the rtante, J• .das, the ::;hildderin~ repercussion at dsculo,
u
the cumulative wail at non fuisset, and\ .t he final tmdidit, are Vi'ttoria at
his greatest.
Judas mercator pessimus
Osculo petiit Dominum
Ille ut Agnus innocens, non negavit
Judae osculum:
Denariorum mimevo
Christum Judaeis Tradidit
Melius illi erat si natus non fuisset.
SkNCTUS-MASS V-MODE IV
Judas evil bargainer
Sought the Lord with a kiss
He as an innocent lamb did not re·f use
the kiS!S of Judas,
Who had sold Him for mo.ney.
He betrayed Christ to the Jews
It were 'b etter if he had never been born.
Gre~rian
·Chant
This Chant in the Eighth Mode gives an elabo.r ation on the three Sanctus',
using the purely syllabic chant on the Domine D·ett8i and the Pleni swnt
Coeli which with the exuberant Hos®ma in E xcelsis prepare the way for
the Benedictus.
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt,
coeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth
are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
�William Byrd (1543-1623)
REJOICE, REJOICE (4 Voices)
This splendid carol opens with a homophonic melody .of - horale ,t yPe, sung
c
in intermittent phrases against a continuous fugal organ accompaniment,
broad and majestic. Then, with a sudden change of rhythm, the - hoir, unc
accompanied, breaks into a swift and ecstatic four -part sO<ng of joy, in running fugal counterpoint with brilliant interlacing scales, piling up tu a fi ,· al
jubilus on the w-ord r ejoice.
From Virgin pure this day did !Spring
The precious Seed that only s-aved ma'n :
This day let man rej-oice and sweetly sing,
Since on this day .s alvation first began:
This day did Ghrist man's soul from death remove
With glorious saints to dwell in Heav'n a'bove.
Rejoice, rejoice with heart and V'Oice,
In Christes birth this\ ,d ay rejoi.ce.
IV
MY HEART EVER FAITHFUL (Unison)
J. S. Bach (1685-1750)
This univensal f-av·orite cannot be heard too often. It has the spontameity
of ·b il'd song; even if we have lmown ilt by heart our whole life long, the:
enchanting final ·cadence, with its feather-light dll'op of a major seventh,
never f a ils to strike the ear ·a s. new.
L OVELY DAY lS DA!WNING (2 VoicesJ)
Thomas Morley (1557-1603)
Morley's lovely little madrigal is too well known to need description. Surely no more perfect picture of an English spring mo r ning was ever put into
notes.
MY MOTHER BIDS ME (Unison)
J ,osef Haydn (1732-1809 )
A familiar and most charm~ng example. of how a great master can u se
the simple idiom of pa~toral folk-song: that deceptively easy thing which
1 few compose.r s can touch without cheapening it.
so
THE SPRING
G.retchaninov
Gretchal!linov"s spring song forms a gorg eous oontrast to the limpid innocence of Morley's darling madrigal. 'T he coruscating brilliance o:f the
shifting tonality, ,the high shouts of the voices and the headlong rush of
the accompaniment suggest the delirious ecstas'y o:f reawakening life
after the iron-bound Russian winter.
M.AIRY SAUNDERS, Conductor

�THE HAMPTON QUARTETTE WANTS TO SING FOR YOU
Since 1873 the Hampton Quartette has visited schools and colleges in our country and abroad. Their programs, mainly of Negro Spirituals and Work Songs, carry enjoyment to tens of thousands of campus citizens and return engagements are now traditional at several hundred fine institutions. Moreover, the music promotes in its hearers
a striking degree of understanding of the twelve million of our citizens who, with their
forebears, have yielded these, the only American folk songs.
Hampton Institute sends this and other musical groups into the field: (a) To
raise scholarship funds for Negro boys and girls who will otherwise be denied training;
(b) to advance interracial esteem; and (c) to share the beauty of the American Negro
folk music in authentic form.
Fees are not charged. Students and staff sometimes join in a contribution to
Hampton. Many schools send what they can from school funds. Hampton relies solely
upon the interest and capacity of its audiences to cooperate, no appeal being made; and
any amount that is sent to Hampton is gratefully received.
Phillips-Andover, Phillips-Exeter, Horace Mann, Deerfield Academy, Winsor
School, Lake Forest, Francis Parker, Laurel, Hawken, Kent, Loomis, Taft, Choate,
Moses Brown, Spence, Brearley, Harvard, Yale, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, Smith, Vassar,
Western Reserve, University of Chicago, Oberlin and Haverford are representative of
the student bodies reached regularly by the Quartette. Programs usually occupy thirty
minutes to one hour, divided into groups of songs. A recent graduate of Hampton
speaks briefly (three minutes) about Hampton Institute and about the origin and significance of the songs.
Hampton Institute will be pleased to present a fitting program at any regular or
special assembly of your staff and students during the student year of 1938-1939,
when other engagements will require them to be in your section. If you are interested
to have the Quartette, please write us soon while the schedule is being prepared, naming
the date and hour of your first choice, with as many alternative dates as are available.
THE HAMPTON QUARTETTE HOPES TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

�A Note About the Play
VENUS OBSERVED is one of a proposed series of four
plays which Christopher Fry calls "comedies of climatett ..
Each play reflects one of the seasons; VEtnJS OBSERVED is
autumnal, THE LADYVS NOT FOR BURNING is set i~- springtime,
and his most recent, THE DARK IS LIGHT ENOUGH is a winter
_
drama.. The summer comedy is yet to be written.. Throughout
each play the poetry of the descriptions, the metaphors and
-the images , even the time of life of the leading character
reflect the proper season & In Venus Observed, an ttautumn
Duke 11 learns by an experience of fire as bright as ~ the
11
1 scalding scarlet"· of turning leaves that there is a wisdom
·and love to be -discovered in the ebbing days of life which
is worth as much or more than the ravishing joys of spring.,

�A Note About the Play
VENUS OBSERVED is one of a proposed series of four
plays which Christopher Fry calls "comedies of climatett ..
Each play reflects one of the seasons; VEtnJS OBSERVED is
autumnal, THE LADYVS NOT FOR BURNING is set i~- springtime,
and his most recent, THE DARK IS LIGHT ENOUGH is a winter
_
drama.. The summer comedy is yet to be written.. Throughout
each play the poetry of the descriptions, the metaphors and
-the images , even the time of life of the leading character
reflect the proper season & In Venus Observed, an ttautumn
Duke 11 learns by an experience of fire as bright as ~ the
11
1 scalding scarlet"· of turning leaves that there is a wisdom
·and love to be -discovered in the ebbing days of life which
is worth as much or more than the ravishing joys of spring.,

--There will be a Waltz Party after Saturday
night's performance.
�The first play in this trilogy focuses on the
murder of Agamemnon, ruler of Argos. Ten years before
the play's opening scene, Agamemnon had been forced
to offer his daughter, Iphegeneia, in sacrifice to
the goddess Artemis. He did this to enable the
Greek army to sail for Troy and rescue Helen from the
hands of Priam's son Alexander (i.e. Paris).
Clytaemnestra had been led to believe that Iphegeneia
was to be wed to Achilles before he set sail and had
prepared her for the ceremony. When she discovered
the awful truth it was too late; Agamemnon had set
sail and Iphegeneia was dead. All that Clytaemnestra
could do was wait those ten long years with bitterness
filling her heart and redoubling her hatred of
Agamemnon. In the Agamemnon she vents her bloody rage
taking life for life.
Of equal importance are the events which occured
between Agamemnon's father and his uncle, Atreus and
Thyestes. They serve as a motive for Aegisthus'
conspiring with Clytaemnestra to murder Agamemnon.
In Aegisthus' eyes these events justify his actions,
making his role that of a savior rather than assasin.
Atreus and Thyestes feuded bitterly over the right
to rule the kingdom of Argos. Through intrigue with
Atreus' wife, Aerope, Thyestes was able to dupe his
brother into forfeiting the throne. However, his
success was short-lived. With the aid of Zeus, Atreus
resumed the throne and banished Thyestes.
When Atreus discovered that his ~vife had slept
and conspired with Thyestes, he became enraged. He
decided to make Thyestes pay as no man ever had for
this cuckoldry. Atreus invited him to what appeared
to be a dinner of reconciliation. It was actually
the most gruesome form of retribution imaginable.
Atreus butchered five of Thyestes' children, cutting
off their hands, heads and feet, and prepared the
bodies as the meal (Aegisthus escaped this fate
because he was not yet born). When Thyestes
learned the awful truth he was overcome with horror
and pronounced an ineluctable curse upon the children
of Atreus.
�These circumstances which precede the play
distinguish two separate motives for Agamemnon's
murder. The other two plays present the ensuing
situation in which Clytaemnestra's son, Orestes,
returns from Phocis to avenge his father's death.
Orestes had been sent to Phocis by his mother early
in his youth; he lived there with Strophius, who
was the king and father of Pylades, Orestes' companion.
He returned under order of the Pythian oracle, Loxias (Apollo), who had commanded him to kill his mother.
The Furies, commonly referred to as the Eumenides,
are the daughters of Night. Their horne is dark
Tartarus beneath the ground. They are children of
the original gods and have the duty to uphold the
old laws which condemn rnatr~cide. Apollo and Athene
are children of Zeus, hi mself the father of the
third generation of gods. Zeus' children are new
gods and as such represent new laws. Athene proclaims
a new order when she establishes a new law for men;
the establishment of a jury comprised of the best
citizens to hear cases in Athens on the Aeropagus.
Trial by jury is a new interpretation of legal justice.
The first case heard by them is that of Orestes,
a case whose outcome of reprieve for him is finally
decided by the daughter of Zeus.

In seeking to reduce both state and pooplo

Begins at homo; quits first his royal palaeo
Of flattering sycophants, of dissolute
And infamous persons, - which ho sweetly torms
His mas ter's mastcrpioco, the wor~ of Heaven;
Considering duly that a princo's court
Is like a common fountain, whence should flow
Pure silver drops in genora.l., but if't chance
Some curs 1 d oxru~lo poison't near tho head,
Death and diseases through the whole land spread.
And wha.t is't makes this blessed govorrunent
But a most provident council, who dare frooly
Inform him tho corruption of tho timos?
Though som of th • court hold it prosUIIIlltion

Tb instruct princes what they ought to do,
It is a noble duty to info·xm them
What they ought to foresee. -- Hero comes Bosola 1
Tho only court-gall; yet I observe his railing

Most true:
He never pays debts unless they bo shrowd turns 1
And those ho will ooni'oes that he doth owe.
Last, for his brother, the Cardinal,
They that do flatter him most say oraoles
Hang at his lips; nnd vorily I beliavo tham,
For tho devil speaks in thoro,
But tor their sister, tho right noble duchess,
You novor fixed your eye on three fair medals
Cast in one figure, of so different temper,
For her discourse, it is so full of rapture,
You only '~11 begin then to be sorry
Whon she doth end her speeoh, and wish, in wonder,
She held it less vain-glory to talk much,
Than your penanoo to hear her: whilst sho speo.k:s,
She throws upon n man so sweet n look,
Thu t 1t were ablo [to] raiso one to a. gal.liard
That lay in a dead palsy, ond to dote
On that sweet oountenanoe; but 1~ that look
Thero speukoth so divino a continence
J~ cuts off all lascivious and vain hope,
Her d~s are pructis'd in sueh noblo virtue,
That sure her nights, nay, more, her very sleeps,
J~e more in hooven than other ladies' shrifts.
Let all sweet ladies break their flattering glassos,
i~d dross themselves in her.
Fie, Antonio,
You play the wire-drawer with her commendations.
Antonio. I'll case the picture up: only thus much;
All her particular worth grows to this sum,••
She stains the time past, lights the time to come,
Cariola.
You must· attend nw lady in the gallery,
Some half an hour hence.
Antonio. I shall.

Became flowers, precious stones, or eminent s t urs.

How doth our sister duche ss bear herself
In her imprisonment?
Nob ly: 1 1 11 describe her.
She's sad as one long used to't, and she rJemns
Rather to welcome the end o:t' misery
Than shun it; a behavi o ur so noble
As gives a majesty to a dvers1 ty :
You may discern the shape of loveliness
More perfect in her tears than :i,n her E:miles ;
She will muse four hours t ogether ; and her s LLGnce ,
Methin.lm , expresseth more than if she sr1ake .

GOOD CHRISTIAN mEN REJOICE
1. Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before him bow,
And he is in the manger now.
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!
2. Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss;
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath oped the heav'nly door,
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
3. Good Christian, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice,
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain his everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
OH LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
1. 0 little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Vet in thy dark streets ehineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2. For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
0 morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
3. How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of hie heav'n.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin;
Whets meek souls will receive him,
stiil The dear Christ enters in.
4. Whets children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds WiQ ~ the dbor,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
5, 0 holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
0 come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
1. What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Refrain:
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of mary.
2. Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Refrain
3. So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own him,
The King of Kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

of th eir money ; . and · sometirn~§ :,,at such
enterprises both he and his comp!!ny were
sorely beaten; and when his receivers made
to him their complaints hoyv they were robbed
in their coming to him, he would give them

�HIS TORY OF
TH E S T. JO
THE FIRST FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY IN THE UNITED STATES
he King William School was established in 1696 by an act of the
era! Assembly of Maryland for "Propagation of the Gospel and the
Bucation of the Youth of this Province in Good Letters and Manners."
Thomas Bray, named Commissary of Maryland in 1696, felt that the clergy in
Maryland could not hope to visit and instruct all members of rural colonial
parishes, and he hoped that the provision of parochial libraries might ease this
deficiency. The "Bray Libraries" were to be given into the care of the members
of the clergy for the use of the parishes. A £400 gift of Princess Ann of
Denmark, for whom Annapolis was named, enabled the purchase of 1,095
volumes for the Annapolitan Bray Library, the first of the provincial libraries.
Both the establishment of the King William School by the civil authorities
and the Bray Library by the Anglican Church indicate the need felt in the
colonies for education in philosophical and spiritual matters. * The first
volumes arrived in Annapolis in 1697, the last in 1700. After fires in the
buildings that housed the collection, the libra1y was moved to the King
William School in 1704. In 1720, the Bray Books were transferred to the new
state house, and sometime in the second half of the century they were
returned to the King William School. * When St. John's College
commenced in 1784, the masters and students of the old King William School
joined the inaugural procession, and the property and endowment of the early
school- including the Bray Books- were conveyed to the new college. * Since
this early beginning, the college collection has grown- sometimes vigorously,
sometimes hardly at all- reflecting the fortunes of education in the country at
large. Since its arrival on the St. John's College campus, the library has moved
to McDowell Hall, Humphreys,
Woodward Hall, Mellon,
Woodward Hall, and now,
some 90,000 volumes strong,
to the new library. The new
Greenfield Library assures us
that 300 years of liberal
education through books will
continue long into the
20th century.

THE
HALL 0 F
RECORDS
New Life for an Historic Building
n 1934 St. John's College deeded a section on the southwest corner of
campus to the State of Maryland for $10. The State constructed the first
state archive depository in the nation, the Maryland Hall of Records, on this
site. The Hall of Records commemorates the 300th anniversary of the state's
founding in 1634 and has a finely detailed interior with symbols of Maryland
carved in raised wood panels. Laurence Hall Fowler, a noted Baltimore
architect, designed the building in a Georgian Revival style to complement
the 18th and 19th century architecture of the St. John's College campus. * In
1986 Matyland's state archives moved to a new building on Rowe Boulevard.
The Maryland Board of Public Works approved the sale of the Hall of Records
in 1993 and St. John's College formally acquired the building in 1994.
Renovations were completed in 1996, the 300th anniversary of the founding
of St. John's College as King William's School and of Dr. Bray's library, the
oldest free public library in the United States and the origin of the St. John's
College library.

McDowell Hall.
McDowell Hall began as the grandiose dream house of
Maryland's colonial governor, Thomas Bladen, in 1742. Originally conceived
to have a central section with a wing on either side, the building soon proved
to be too expensive for the colony to complete. Roofless, its unfinished walls
exposed to the elements, the hulk which became known as Bladen's Folly sat
for more than 40 years before the site was given to a new college- St. John's
College- chartered in the new state of Maryland in 1784.
Reconstruction
of the building was completed in 1789, and the first students from King
William's School and the College moved in. The building served as dormitory,
library, dining hall, and classroom space until 1837 when a second College
building was constructed. McDowell Hall is named after John McDowell, the
first President of St. John's College. It is the third oldest academic building in
continuous use in the United States.
