Old English?

The English of the 15th century, from which the text of this carol hails, is not Old English. Even Chaucer, a century before did not write or speak Old English. At best, this is possibly what might be called Middle English, although I would opt for it being simply English, albeit a wee bit archaic by modern standards. -- Chucktalk Giffen 09:21, 7 March 2008 (PST)
