The King of bliss thy father is,

As it was his will.

The other night I saw a sight,

A mayd a cradle keep:

"Lullay," she sung, and said among,

"Lie still, my child, and sleep."

"How should I sleep? I may not for weep,

So sore am I begone:

Sleep I would; I may not for cold,

And clothes have I none.
