# The Oxford Book of Ballads/The Cherry-Tree Carol

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article.
A traditional Christmas carol, and children's song.
First Verse
    JOSEPH was an old man, and an old man was he,
       when he wedded Mary in the land of Galilee.
    Joseph and Mary walk’d through an orchard good,
       where was cherries and berries so red as any blood.
    Joseph and Mary walk’d through an orchard green,
       where was berries and cherries as thick as might be seen.
    O then bespoke Mary, so meek and so mild,
       ‘Pluck me one cherry, Joseph, for I am with child.’
    O then bespoke Joseph with words so unkind,
       ‘Let him pluck thee a cherry that brought thee with child.’
    O then bespoke the babe within his mother’s womb,
       ‘Bow down then the tallest tree for my mother to have some.’
    Then bow’d down the highest tree unto his mother’s hand:
       when she cried, ‘See, Joseph, I have cherries at command!’
    O then bespake Joseph— ‘I have done Mary wrong;
       but cheer up, my dearest, and be not cast down.
    ‘O eat your cherries, Mary, o eat your cherries now;
       o eat your cherries, Mary, that grow upon the bough.’
    Then Mary pluck’d a cherry as red as the blood;
       then Mary went home with her heavy load.
Second verse
    As Joseph was a-walking, he heard an angel sing:
       ‘This night shall be born our heavenly King.
    ‘He neither shall be born in housen nor in hall,
       nor in the place of Paradise, but in an ox’s stall.
    ‘He neither shall be clothéd in purple nor in pall,
       but all in fair linen, as were babies all.
    ‘He neither shall be rock’d in silver nor in gold,
       but in a wooden cradle that rocks on the mould.
    He neither shall be christen’d in white wine nor red,
       but with fair spring water with which we were christenéd.
Third verse
    Then Mary took her young son and set him on her knee;
       ‘I pray thee now, dear child, tell how this world shall be.’—
    ‘O I shall be as dead, mother, as the stones in the wall;
       o the stones in the street, mother, shall mourn for me all.
    ‘And upon a Wednesday my vow I will make,
       and upon Good Friday my death I will take.
    ‘Upon Easter-day, mother, my uprising shall be;
       o the sun and the moon, mother, shall both rise with me!’

​AMERICAN PAR′TY. The name applied to three parties in the history of the United States. The first and best known was organized in 1852, chiefly to oppose the immigration of foreigners, and had a considerable following between the years 1852 and 1856. A fuller account is given under the title Know-Nothings, the name by which the party was generally known. The second party was an outgrowth of the National Christian Association, and was organized in 1872 to oppose secret societies and to advocate the prohibition of the sale of intoxicants, the regular use of the Bible in the schools, arbitration of international disputes, a direct popular vote for President, the resumption of specie payments, and a more general observance of Sunday. After 1888, when it cast its largest vote, it virtually went out of existence. The third party was organized in Philadelphia in September, 1887. to restrict the immigration and naturalization of foreigners, to exclude all Anarchists and Socialists from the privilege of citizenship, and to prevent alien proprietorship of the soil. Its influence has been inconsiderable.

He was a man of great intrepidity, but was fickle and treacherous. He was sent to England in 1601 to announce the marriage of Henry with Maria de' Medici, but about the same time he was condemned by the Parliament for treasonable negotiations with Spain and Savoy, aiming at the overthrow of the Bourbon dynasty, the dismemberment of the kingdom into provincial States, and his own elevation to the sovereignty of Burgundy. Induced to come to Paris, he was apprehended and beheaded in the Bastille.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Biron, Ernest John

Edition of 1905. See also Ernst Johann von Biron on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
BIRON, bē'rō̇n, Ernest John, Duke of Courland (1690-1772). A Russian statesman. He was the son of a landed proprietor of the name of Bühren. Through Bestuzheff-Ryumin, who befriended him, he obtained the favor of Anna Ivanovna, who was called to the Russian throne in 1730. The Council of the Empire attempted to secure from her an aristocratic constitution, but she crushed remorselessly the powerful nobility, notably the Dolgorukis and the Galitsins, and made her lover, Biron, who had adopted this French name in place of that of Bühren, her chamberlain and practical ruler of the Empire. Rambaud describes him “as a large, handsome man, uneducated, loving only his horses; a superb lackey, morally as evil and vindictive as his mistress.” His enemies and rivals were swept out of the way, while the poor people were ground down by taxation. The Russians have described this reign as the Bironorachina and the “German yoke.” He is said to have caused over a thousand executions, while the number of persons exiled by him to Siberia is estimated at from twenty to forty thousand. His revengeful severity is said to have exceeded that of his unscrupulous mistress. As an administrator, however, he showed considerable ability, and maintained order in the Empire. The Duchy of Courland, in which Biron was born, was then in dispute between Poland and Russia. Anna conferred the duchy upon Biron, and Russian armies were employed to place on the Polish throne Augustus III., Elector of Saxony, who had promised the investiture of Courland for Biron. The Emperor Charles VI., subordinating everything to his Pragmatic Sanction, readily countenanced these violent acts, and the King of Prussia was bought by certain territorial concessions. In 1737, therefore, the nobles of Courland were obliged to
confirm Anna's appointment, and in 1739 the investiture took place at Warsaw by authority of the Polish King and Senate. The Empress died in October, 1740, and Biron, under her will, assumed the regency in the name of the infant Emperor Ivan VI. Field-Marshal Münnich, who during the past reign had supported Biron, but who saw that he was to receive slight recognition now, set on foot a conspiracy, the result of which was the exile of Biron to Pelim, in Siberia. A second palace revolution occurred soon after, and the new Empress, Elizabeth Petrovna, banished Münnich and permitted Biron to take up his residence at Yaroslav. After Elizabeth's death, his duchy was restored to him by Catharine II. He died September 28, 1772.
