Lully lulla, thow littell tine child,
By, by, lully lullay, thow littell tyne child,
By, by, lully lullay!
O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This pore yongling, for whom we do singe
By, by, lully, lullay?
Herod the king, in his raging,
Chargid he hath this day
His men of might in his owne sight
All yonge children to slay.
That wo is me, pore child, for thee,
And ever morne and may
For thi parting neither say nor singe,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lully lulla, thow littell tine child,
By, by, lully lullay, thow littell tyne child,
By, by, lully lullay!
