Now farewell, good Christmas, Adieu and adieu, I needs now must leave thee, And look for a new; For till thou returnist, I linger in pain, And I care now how quickly Thou comest again. 2. But ere thou departest I purpose to see What merry good pastim This day will show me; For a king of the wassail This night we must choose, Or else the old customs We carelessly lose. 3. The wassail well spiced About shall go round, Thou it cost my good master Best part of a pound: The main in the buttery Stands ready to fill Her nappy good liquor With heart and good will. 4. And to welcome us kindly Our master stands by, And tells me in friendship One tooth is a-dry. Then let us accept it As lovingly, friends; And so for this twelfth-day My carol here ends.
