Tidings I Bring You For To Tell Lyrics

1. Tidings I bring you for to tell,
What me in wild forest befel
When me must with a wild beast mell
With a boar so bryme.

2. A boar so bryme that me pursued,
Me for to kill so sharply moved,
That brymly beast so cruel and unrude,
There tamed I him,
And reft from him both life and limb.

3. Truly, to show you that this is true,
His head with my sword I hew,
To make this day to you mirth new,
Now eat thereof anon.

4. Eat, and much good do it you;
Take your bread and mustard thereto.
Joy with me that I have thus done,
I pray you be glad every one,
And joy all in one.
