Lully, lulla, thow little tyne child

By, by lully, lullay,

Thow little tyne child

By, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters too, how may we do,

For to preserve this day

This pore yongling for whom we singe

By, by, lully lullay?

Lully, lullay, thow little tyne child...

Herod, the king, in his raging

Chargid he hath this day

His men of might in his owne sight,

All yonge children to slay.

Lully, lullay, thow little tyne child...
