Rise up, rise up, you merry men all, See that you ready be, All children under two years old Now slain they all shall be. Then Jesus, ah ! and Joseph, And Mary, that was so pure, They travelled into Egypt, As you shall find it sure. And when they came to Egypt's land, Amongst those fierce wild beasts, Mary, she being weary, Must needs sit down to rest. Come sit thee down, says Jesus, Come sit thee down by me, And thou shalt see how these wild beasts Do come and worship me. 249 First, came the l...ovely lion, Which Jesus' s grace did spring, And of the wild beasts in the field, The lion shall be king. We'll choose our virtuous princes, Of birth and high degree, In every sundry nation, Where'er we come and see. Then Jesus, ah ! and Joseph, And Mary, that was unknown, They travelled by a husbandman, Just while his seed was sown. God speed thee, man ! said Jesus, Go fetch thy ox and wain, And carry home thy corn again, Which thou this day hast sown. The husbandman fell on his knees, Even before his face ^ Long time hast Thou been looked for, But now Thou art come at last.
