a lyke-wake dirge - john jeffreys lyrics
this ae nighte, this ae nighte
every nighte and alle
fire and fleete and candle*lighte
and christe receive thy saule
when thou from hence away art past
every nighte and alle
to whinnymuir thou com’st at last;
and christe receive thy saule
if ever thou gav’st hoes’n and shoon
every nighte and alle
sit thee down and put them on;
and christe receive thy saule
if hoes’n and shoon thou ne’er gav’st nanе
every nighte and alle
thе winnies shall pr*ck thee to the bare bane;
and christe receive thy saule
from whinnymuir when thou may’st pass
every nighte and alle
to brig o’ dread thou com’st at last;
and christe receive thy saule
from brig o’ dread when thou may’st pass
every nighte and alle
to purgatory fire thou com’st at last;
and christe receive thy saule
if ever thou gav’st meat or drink
every nighte and alle
the fire shall never make thee shrink;
and christe receive thy saule
if meat or drink thou ne’er gav’st nane
every nighte and alle
the fire will burn thee to the bare bane;
and christe receive thy saule
this ae nighte, this ae nighte
every nighte and alle
fire and fleete and candle*lighte
and christe receive thy saule
