Joyful all ye nations rise
Celestial foulis in the air,
Sing with your nottis upon hicht,
In firthis and in forrestis fair
Be myrthful now at all your mycht;
For passit is your dully nicht,
Aurora has the cloudis perst,
The Sone is risen with glaidsum licht,
Et nobis Puer natus est.
- William Dunbar (1465–1520?), "On the Nativity of Christ"

It somehow seems wrong that the only line I didn't have to think about was the one in Latin :/
