Nightly in carols, rapturing every ear.
Your years with worth and charities enshrined.
None so formed a pure seraphic sphere.
Joyous we hail thy blithesome advent here.
Incites deep wishes for your happiness.
Would this usage be common in old english and use of poetic licence. For instance: you would say ''of worth'' not with worth or not so formed.

The syntax is contorted, for poetic reasons. The second line in a more normal syntax w0uld read "Your years enshrined with worth and charities", so "with" denotes the indirect object of the participle "enshrined". This is a rather rare word, and even more in this sense

The sentence is supposed to mean with, not of. It is a preposition that refers to enshrined, not to worth. HTH.
