Make we myrth
For Crystes byrth,
And sing we yole tyl Candelmes.

The fyrst day of yole have we in mynd,
How God was man born of owre kynd;
For he the bondes wold onbynd
Of all owre synnes and wykednes.

The secund day we syng of Stevene,
That stoned and steyyd up even
To God that he saw stond in hevyn,
And cronned was for hys prouesse.

The iij day longest to sent Johan,
That was Cristys darlyng, derer non,
Whom he betok, whan he shuld gone,
Hys moder der for hyr clennesse.

The iiij day of the chyldren зong,
That Herowd to deth had do with wrong,
And Crist thei coud non tell with tong,
But with ther blod bar hym wytnesse.

The v day longeth to sent Thomas,
That, as a strong pyllar of bras,
Held up the chyrch, and sclayn he was,
For he sted with ryytwesnesse.

The viij Day tok Jhesu hys name,
That saved mankynd fro syn and shame,
And circumsaysed was for no blame,
But for ensample of meknesse.

The xij day offered to hym kinges iij.
Gold, myr, and cense, these gyftes free,
For God, and man, and kyng was he,
Thus worschyppyd thei his worthynes.

On the xl Day cam Mary myld,
Unto the temple with hyr chyld,
To shew hyr clen that never was fylyd,
And therwith endyth Crystmes.

is this a decemberists song?

Middle English christmas carol I was reading about. But it's not far off from a Meloy lyric.

Uh, thanks spoon.

heh heh

This is not the sort of thread that gets a girl to 1000 posts, you know. What have I got to say about middle english?

Errm...

Well, this is potentially salacious, maybe?

Sorry, in my old age I need my dirty a little more up front (but less upfront than, say, the board last week - it's tough). I don't even get wet for DH et al.

Still, your reply justifies my reply. I'll get there before I get to work tomorrow.

i farted, haq. that was funny.

this is about as interesting as college volleyball

Womens college vollyball is very interesting. What with all the jumping about.

Try reciting it gobsmit on homemade mead and wearing a wench-tavern bodice.

I still maintain 'Silent Night' is the best song of all time just pipping 'Sister Ray'.

Sung in a round with "Nancy Whiskey," not a dry eye in pub.
