You come wi’ me, lad! come along o’ me,
We’ll all be off to Bethlehem, and see
What they be doing there! Lord, Lord, I doubt
Whether I’ll know to find me way about
With such high things a-happening!
Sir, you see
There ain’t much show about the likes o’ we,
But what I say’s—if this be true—well, well,
’Tis the best news that ever I heard tell!
1st Shepherd.
