Merry Christmas One and All.
,---
| Good husband and housewife, now chiefly be glad,
| Things handsome to have, as they ought to be had.
| They both do provide, against Christmas do come,
| To welcome their neighbors, good cheer to have some.
|
| Good bread and good drink, a good fire in the hall,
| Brawn, pudding, and souse, and good mustard withal.
| Beef, mutton, and pork, and good pies of the best,
| Pig, veal, goose, and capon, and turkey well drest,
| Cheese, apples and nuts, and good carols to hear,
| As then in the country is counted good cheer.
|
| What cost to good husband, is any of this?
| Good household provision only it is:
| Of other the like, I do leave out a many,
| That costeth the husband never a penny.
