The Virgin and Child

Thou mayest be glad To sing by by, lullay." 4 "Now, sweetest Lord, since Thou art King. Why liest Thou in a stall ? Why didst Thou not Thy cradle bring To some great royal hall ? Methinks 'tis right, That king or knight Should lie in good array; And them among, It were no wrong To sing by by, lullay." 5 "My Mother Mary, thine I be, Though I be laid in stall, Both lords and dukes shall worship Me, And so shall monarchs all: Ye shall well see That princes three, Shall come on the twelfth day: Then let Me rest Upon thy breast, And sing by by, lullay." 6 "Now tell me, sweetest Lord, I pray, Thou art my love and dear, How shall I nurse Thee to Thy mind, And make Thee glad of cheer ? For all Thy will I would fulfil, I need no more to say; And for all this I will Thee kiss, And sing by by, lullay," 7 "My Mother dear, when time it be, Then take Me up aloft, And set Me up upon thy knee, And handle Me full soft; And in thy arm, Thou wilt Me warm, And keep Me night and day: And if I weep, And may not sleep, Thou sing by by, lullay." 8 "Now, sweetest Lord, since it is so, That Thou art most of might, I pray Thee grant a boon to me, If it be meet and right; That child or man That will or can, Be merry on this day; To bliss them bring, And I shall sing, Lullay, by by, lullay."
