Begin then to chuse, This night as ye use, Who shall for the present delight here; Be a king by the lot, And who shall not Be Twelfe-day queene for the night here. Which knowne, let us make Joy-sops with the cake; And let now a man then be seen here Who unurg'd will not drinke, To the base from the brink, A health to the king and the queene here. Next crowne the bowle full With gentle lambs-wooll; Adde sugar, nutmet, and ginger, With store of ale too; And thus ye must doe To make the wassaile a swinger. Give then to the king And queene wassailing, And though with ale ye be whet here, Yet part ye from hence, As free from offence As when ye innocent met here.
