Weinnacht is explained in Duben. Catal. Prodig. p. 22. See also Hospinian. Orig. Festor. f. 159. [The following verses are extracted from an old ballad entitled Martilmasse Day : *< It is the day of Martilmasse, Cuppes of ide should freelie passe, What though Wynter has begunne T6 push downe the summer sunne To our fire we can betake. And e^joye the crackling brake, Never heeding winter's face, On the day of Martilmasse. Anterem ut as$atum ridendo carmine Jactant. Ctf/ta nonnumquam partem nummoeve vicitrim Accipiunt, cdebrantque hoc festum musice et ipsi.'' * Moris etiam est plurimis in locis ut ad diem Martini census debitacfM solvantur." — Hospinian de Orig. Festor. Christianor. f. 146. Digitized by VjjOOQIC 404 QUEEN ELIZABSTH's ACCESSION. << Nel had left her wool at home. The Flanderkin hath stayed his loom, No beame doth swinge, nor wheel go round, Upon Ourgnntum's walled ground. Where now no anchorite doth dwell. To rise and pray at Lenard's bell : Martyn hath kicked at Balaam's ass, So merrie be old Martilmasse ^ When the dailie sportes be done, Rounde the market crosse they runne, Prentis laddes, and gallant blades, Dancing with their gamesome maids, Till liie beadle, stout and sowre.
