And brought blirhe Christmas back again,
With all Its hospitable train.

On Christmas Eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas Eve the Mass was sung;
The only night OF all the year
Saw the stored priest the chslice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen
The hall was dressed with holly green,
Forth to the wood did merry men 10
To gather in the mlstletoe.
Then opened wide the barOns hall
To vassa S, tenants. serfs, and all,
The heir. with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner choose
The lord, underogatng, share
The vulgar game of post and pair
All hailed with uncontrolled delight,
And general voice, the happy night
That to tie cotta=e. as the crown,
Brought tidings Of salvation down.
THE fire, with well-dried logs supplied
Went roaring up the chimney wide.
The huge hall-table's oaken face,
Scrubbed Till it shone. the day 10 grace,
bore then upon its massive board
No mark TO part the squire and lord.
Then was brought in the lusty Drawn
By old blue-coated serving-mtu;
Then the grim boar's hsad irowned on high,
Crested with bay and rosemary .

Garnished with ribbons, blithely trJwls

Then came the merry ma quers in
And carols roared with blithsome din
