Now, now the mirth comes, With the cake full of plums, Where Bean's the king of the sport here; Besides we must know, The pea also Must revel, as queen, in the court here. 2, Begin then to choose, This night as ye use, Who shall for the present delight here, Be a king by the lot, And who shall not Be Twelfth-day queen for the night here. 3. Which known, let us make Joy-sops with the cake; And let not a man then be seen here, Who, unurg'd, will not drink, To the base from the brink, A health to the king and queen here. 4. Next crown the bowl full With the gentle lamb's-wool Add sugar, nutmeg, and ginger, With store of ale too; And thus ye must do To make the wassail a swinger. 5. Give then to the king And queen wassailing; And, though with ale ye be wet here, Yet part ye from hence As free from offense, As when ye innocent met here.
