THE COVENTRY CAROL

Lullay, Thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor Youngling
For Whom we sing,
By by lully, lullay.
Herod the king
In his raging
Charges he hath this day,
His maen of might
In his own sight
All children young to slay.
