There came to me assistance,
Mary fair and Bride;
As Anna bore Mary,
As Mary bore Christ,
As Eile bore John the Baptist
Without flaw in him,
Aid thou me in mine unbearing,
Aid me, O Bride!
As Christ was conceived of Mary
Full perfect on every hand.
Assist thou me, foster-mother,
The conception to bring from the bone,
And as thou didst aid the Virgin of joy.
Without gold, without corn, without kine,
Aid thou me, great is my sickness,
Aid me, O Bride!
