∙ 12y ago"Songs" would include hymns, which were often set to much older traditional folk tunes. An example is the "Hymn to St Magnus" of the early 12th century:
Nobilis humilis, Magne martyr stabilis
Abilis, utilis, comes venerabilis,
Et tutor laudabilis, tuos subditos
Serva carnis fragilis mole positos.
Praeditus, caelitus, dono Sancti Spiritus
Vivere temere summo caves opere
Carnis motus premere, studes penitus
Ut carnis in carcere, regnet spiritus.
Turbidus, invidus, hostis Haco callidus
Sternere, terere, tua sibi subdere
Te cupit et perdere, doli spiculo
iuncto fraudis foedere, pacis osculo.
Gravia taedia ferens pro iustitia
raperis, traheris, demum ictu funeris
ab hymnis extolleris ad caelestia:
sic Christo coniungeris per supplicia.
Eia gloria signorum frequentia
canitur, agitur, Christus benedicitur
et tibi laus redditur in ecclesia:
O quam felix cernitur hinc Orchadia.
Omnibus laudibus tuis insistentibus
gratiam, veniam, et eternam gloriam
precum per instantiam Pater Optime,
hanc Salvans familiam a discrimine.
Later folk songs were often sung in Middle English, such as this example in the Wessex Dialect which is certainly 13th century and perhaps older, sung as a round:
Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ med
And springþ þe wde nu,
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteþ after lomb,
Lhouþ after calue cu.
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu, wel singes þu cuccu;
Ne swik þu nauer nu.
Pes:
Sing cuccu nu. Sing cuccu.
Sing cuccu. Sing cuccu nu!
