- 1Lully, lullay, thou little tiny Child,By, by, lully, lullay:Lullay, thou little tiny ChildBy, by, lully, lullay.O sisters too, how may we do,For to preserve this day,This poor Youngling for whom we do singBy, by, lully, lullay?
- 2Herod the king in his raging,Charged he hath this dayHis men of might, in his own sightAll children young to slay.Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,And ever mourn and say,For Thy parting nor say nor sing,By, by, lully, lullay.
