MERRY SOULS
0 you merry, merry Souls, Christmas is a coming, We shall have flowing Bowls, Dancing, piping, drumming. Then for your Christmas Box Sweet Plumb Cakes and Money, Delicate Holland Smocks, Kisses sweet as Honey. Delicate Minced Pies, To feast every Virgin, Capon and goose likewise, Brown and a Dish of Sturgeon. Hey, for the Christmas Ball, Where we shall be jolly, Jigging short and tall, Kate, Dick, Ralph and Molly Hodge shall dance with Prue, Keeping Time with kisses. We’ll have a jovial Crew, Of Sweet smirking Misses. Anon. (18th century).
