A Carrol For A Wassel Lyrics

1. A jolly wassel-bowl,
A wassel of good ale,
Well fare the butler's soul,
That setteth this to sale;
Our Jolly wassel

2. Good dame, here at your door
Our wasel we begin,
We are all maidens poor,
We pray now let us in,
With our wassel.

3. Our wassel we do fill
With apples and with spice,
Then grant us your good will
To taste here once or twice
Of our good wassel

4. If any maidens be
Here dwelling in this house,
They kindly will agree
To take a full carouse
Of our wassel.

5. But here they let us stand
All freezing in the cold:
Good mastere give command
To enter and be bold,
With our wassel.

6. Much joy into this hall
With us is entered in;
Our master, first of all,
We hope will now begin
Of our wassel.

7. And after his good wife
Our spiced bowl will try;
The Lord prolong your life,
Good fortune we spy
For our wassel.

8. Some bounty from your hands,
Our wassel to maintain:
We'l buy no house nor lands
With that which we do gain
With our wassel.

9. This is our merry night
Of choosing king and queen,
Then be it your delight
That something may be seen
In our wassel.

10. It is a noble part
To bear a liberal mind:
God bless our master's heart,
For here we comfort find,
With our wassel.

11. And now we must be gone
To seek out more good cheer,
Where bounty will be shown,
As we have found it here,
With our wassel.

12. Much joy betide them all,
Our prayers shall be still,
We hope and ever shall,
For this your great good will
To our wassel
