A jolly wassel-bowl, A wassel of good ale, Well fare the butler's soul, That setteth this to sale; Our jolly wassel. 2. Good dame, here at your door Our wassel we begin, We are all maidens poor, We pray now let us in, With our wassel. 3. Our wassel we do fill With apples and with spice, Then grant us your good will To taste here once or twice Of our good wassel. 4. If any maidens be Here dwelling in this house, They kindly will agree To take a full carouse Of our wassel. 5. But here they let us stand All freezing in the cold: Good master, give command To enter and be bold, With our wassel. 6. Much joy into this hall With us is entered in; Our master, first of all, We hope will now begin Of our wassel. 7. And after his good wife Our spiced bowl will try; The Lord prolong your life, Good fortune we espy For our wassel. 8. Some bounty from your hands, Our wassel to maintain: We'l buy no house nor lands With that which we do gain With our wassel. 9. This is our merry night Of choosing king and queen, Then be it your delight That something may be seen In our wassel. 10. It is a noble part To bear a liberal mind; God bless our master's heart, For here we comfort find, With our wassel. 11. And now we must be gone To seek out more good cheer, Where bounty will be shown As we have found it here, With our wassel. 12. Much joy betide them all, Our prayers shall be still, We hope and ever shall, For this your great good will To our wassel. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
