Classic poem of the day
A Gentleman being on a Christmas Eue in a very sollitary place, among very solemn Company: where was but small cheare, lesse myrth and least musicke: beeing very earnestly entreated to sing a Christmas Caroll, with much adoe sung as followeth

Will naught but fast and pray.
Some syng and daunce for lyfe some Carde and Dyce......
