Verse 2

Oh, sisters too

How may we do,

For to preserve this day?

This poor youngling,

For whom we sing

By, by, lully, lullay.

Verse 3

Herod the King,

In his raging,

Charged he hath this day.

His men of might,

In his own sight,

All young children to slay.

Verse4

That woe is me,

Poor child for thee!

And ever morn and day,

For thy parting

Neither say nor sing

By, by, lully, lullay!
