This lovely lady sang and sang and to her child she said: "My son, my brother, my father dear, why lyest thou thus in hayd -- My sweet bird, Though it betide Thou be not king veray; But, nevertheless, I will not cease To sing, by by, lullay. The Child then spake; in his talking he to his mother said: "It happeneth, mother, I am King, in crib though I be laid, For angels bright Did down alight, Thou knowest it is no nay, And of that sight Thou mayst be light To sing, by by, lullay." "Now, sweet son, since thou art King, why art thou laid in stall? Why not thou ordain thy bedding in some great king's hall? Me thinketh 'tis right That king or knight 'Should be in good array And then among It were no wrong To sing, by by, lullay." "Mary, mother, I am thy child, though I be laid in stall, Lords and dukes shall worship me, and so shall kings all; Yet shall we see That kings three Shall come on the twelfth day; For this behest Give me thy breast And sing, by by, lullay." "Now tell me, sweet son, I thee pray, thou art my love and dear, How should I keep thee to thy pay, and make thee glad of cheer; For all thy will I would fulfil Thou knowest full well in fay, And for all this I will thee kiss And sing, by by, lullay." "Now, sweet son, since it is so, all things are at thy will, I pray thee grant to me a boon, if it be right and skill, That child or man That will or can Be merry upon my day; To bliss them bring, And I shall sing Lullay, by by, lullay."
