GUEST,Julia Meaning- masters in this hall (17) RE: Meaning- masters in this hall 20 Dec 06

I seem to be having trouble posting- sorry

I'd like to know the meaning of the "hinds" in the last verse of this carol-

And a little child on her arm had she
"wot ye who is this" said the hinds to me

So who or what are the "hinds"

I have read that these lyrics are some kind of translation by William Morris (the pre-raphaelite artist?)

cheers
Julia
