Lully, Lulla, Lullay-Stopford

Refrain Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lullay.

1 O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
By by, lully, lullay.

2 Herod the king, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might in his own sight
All young children to slay.

3 That woe is me, poor child, for thee!
And ever morn and may
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
By by, lully, lullay.
