Make we merry, both more and less
For now is the time of Crystymas 1. Let no man come into this hall, Groom, page nor yet marshall, But that some sport he bring withall, For now is the time of Christëmas. 2. If that he say he cannot sing, Some other sport then let him bring, That it may please at this feasting, For now is the time of Christëmas. |
Make we mery both more and lasse (high and low)
For now ys the tyme of Crystymas. Lett no man cum into this hall -- Grome, (servant/steward) nor page, nor yet marshall, But that sum sport he bring with all, For now ys the tyme of Crystmas. Make we mery… Yff that he say he can not syng, Sum oder sport then lett hym bring, That yt may please at thys festyng, For now ys the tyme of Crystmas. Make we mery… Yff he say he can nowght do, Then for my love aske hym no mo -- But to the stokes(stocks) then let hym go, For now ys the tyme of Crystmas. Make we mery… |
