To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands
And in a manger laid." Nahum Tate (1652-1715), Irish poet, dramatist. While Shepherds Watched (l. 13-16). . .

All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around." Nahum Tate (1652-1715), Irish poet, dramatist. While Shepherds Watched (l. 1-4). . .
