" It was not thus in days of yore ; In brave and merry England's prime, Our fathers kept the Christmas time, The merry Yule that is no more.
" The walls of hall and hut were hung With ivy and with holly boughs ; And minstrels went from house to house, And all night long their carols sung.
"The jolly dancers shook the floor With country reels, which fiddlers played, And many a little man and maid At blind-man's-buff and battledoor.
A NEW CHRISTMAS CAROL. 63 " Peopled the corners with delight ; T...he old folks sat at fox-and-goose, And let their tongues and fancies loose In tales of lords and ladies bright.
" And then the world of solid cheer In meats and drinks, for rich and poor ; The meanest kept an open door, For Christmas came but once a year.
" Turkeys and capons roasted brown, Dishes of brawn, boar's heads, and, chief, The never-failing loin of beef, With jugs of ale to wash it down.
" They feast until the tapers shine, And day is dead, and curfews toll ; At last they take the wassail-bowl, And drain the spiced and sugared wine !
