Lyke Wake Dirge |
| This ae nighte, this ae nighte |
| Every nighte and alle |
| Fire and fleet and candle-lighte |
| And Christe receive thy saule |
| When thou from hence away art past |
| To whinny-muir thou com’st at last |
| If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon |
| Sit thee down and put them on |
| If hosen and shoon thou ne’er gav’st nane |
| The whinnes shall prick thee to the bare bane |
| From whinny-muir when thou may’st pass |
| To brig o' dread thou com’st at last |
| From brig o' dread when thou may’st pass |
| To purgatory fire thou com’st at last |
| If ever thou gavest meat or drink |
| The fire shall never make thee shrink |
| If meat or drink thou ne’er gav’st nane |
| The fire will burn thee to the bare bane |
| This ae nighte, this ae nighte |
| Every nighte and alle |
| Fire and sleet and candle-lighte |
| And Christe receive thy saule |
