< Tile exact origin ot the 'word
"carol" ~is somewhat obscure and
has been the surbject ol niucll discus-
'sion and investigation, with no rposi-
tive results. The majorty of us are
perfectly willing to let the seers do
the quibbling over the niatter, split
hairs. as ’twere, and accept the word
and its implication for what they memi
to us. Concerning arguments on the
subject, the word is claimed by some,
who claim they know, to be oi' Latin
derivation, ‘by others equally sure to
he Welsh. and again by some students
the idea is brought forward that it
rerept into the French language from
the speech oi’ the Guuls, and thus -wus
czii'l'iod t0 England.
Among tho earliest relics are some
ton before the reign oi' Eliznbotli.
The very first one we know about
is "A Cnrrolle of Huntyiige," com-
posed by ar prioress of St. Alrbans.
Charles d'0rleuns, the gay French
captive, composed u nuinrber ot de-
lightful Anglo-Noriiian chansons
while ianguisliiiig in prison in 1415,
but he is not regarded as sponsor of
the word carol as we know lt. Tho
lot-in is ordlnarly significant of joy
or oxultution; and or dovotioii accord-
ing to Shakespeare and Milton.
'i‘iiere are three types of carol ~-
ecclesiastical. popular and festive.

of the devotional carol is to be
found. The Ainbrosien Te_ Deuin,
Cliarleni_agne’s hymn and Veni Cre.
ator ‘Stpirltus are also good typos ot
the sublime, gloriousfchaiits. Among
_the festive carols are "The Boar‘s
Head," `with which all England
sings its way through the night be-
fore Christmas, and another equally
popular oiie, "God Rest You Merry
Gentlemen.” “Good King Wences-
laus" and “Royal Day That Clinsest

populumzurols, many of which have
