A"quaker" bard I'm now, but /

One Of those called ancient Scalds," " 81

Ungenial cline, ungenial time,

Or have your berry in ground?"

Poem on Christmas.
BY SIR WALTER SCOTT.

Heap on more wood!-the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
Well keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn year
The fttest time for festal cheer:
Even heather yet, the savage Dane,
At Iol more deep the mead did drain;
High on the beach his galleys drew,
And feasted all his pirate crew;
Then, in his low and pine-built hall,
Where shields and axes decked the wall,
They gorged upon the half-dressed steer;
Caroused in seas of sable beer;
While round, in brutal jest, were thrown
The halfgnawed rib, and marrow-bone;
Or listened all, in grim delight,
While scalds yelled out the joys of fight.
Then forth, in frenzy, would they HE,
While wildly loose their red locks fly,
And, dancing round the blazing pile.
They make such balbarous mirth the while,
As best might to the mind recall
The boisterous joys of Odins hall.
And well our Christian sires of old
Loved when the year its course had rolled,
And brought blithe Christmas back again,
With all his hospitable train.
Domestic and religious rite
Gave honour to the holy night;
On Christmas Eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas Eve the mass was sung;
That only night, in all the year,
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen;
The hall was dressed with holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry-men go,
To gather in the mistletoe.
Then opened wide the Baron's hall
To vassal, tenant, serf, and all;
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And Ceremony dotted his pride.
The heir, with roses in bis shoes,
That night might village partner choose;
The lord, underogating, share
The vulgar game of "post and pair"
All hailed, with uncontrolled delight
And general voice, the happy night
That to the cottage as the crown,
Brought tidings of salvation down.
The fire, with weil-dried logs supplied,
Went roaring up the chimney wide;
The huge hall-table's oaken face,
Shrubbed till it shone, the day to grace,
Bore then upon its massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord.
Then was brought in the lusty Drawn,
BY old bue-coated serving-man;
Then the grim boar's head frowned on high,
Crested with bays and rosemary.
w eu Cau LIE Sreeh-Sarpeu ranger YELL
How, when, and where the monster fell;
What dogs before his death he tore,
And all the batting Of the boar.
The wassail round, in good brown bowls,
Garnished with ribbons, bithely trowls.
There the huge sirloin reeked; hard by
Plum-porridge stood, and Christmas pie;
Nor failed old Scotland to produce,
At such high tide, her savoury goose.
Then came the merry masquers in,
And carols roared with blithesome din:
If unmelodous was the song,
1t was a hearty note, and strong
Who lists may in their mumming sec
Traces of ancient mystery;
White shirts supplied the masquerade,
And smutted checks the visors made;
But O! what masquers, richly Digit,
Can boast Of bosoms half so light!
England was merry England, when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas preached the mightiest ale;
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer
The poor mans heart through half the year.
