Now thrice welcome, Christmas, Which brings us good cheer, Minc'd pies and plum-porridge, Good ale and strong beer; With pig, goose, and capon, The best that can be, So well doth the weather And our stomachs agree. 2. Observe how the chimneys Do smoke all about, The cooks are providing For dinner, no doubt; But those on whose tables No victuals appear, O may they keep Lent All the rest of the year! 3. With holly and ivy So green and so gay; We deck up our houses As fresh as the day, With bays and rosemary And laurel complete, And every one now Is a king in conceit.
