A Lyke-Wake Dirge

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,

Every nighte and alle,

Fire and sleet, and candle-lighte,

And Christe receive they saule.

When thou from hence away art past,

Every nighte and alle,

To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last,

And Christe receive thy saule.

If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,

Every nighte and alle,

Sit thee down, and put them on,

And Christe receive thy saule.

If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane,

Every nighte and alle,

The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane,

And Christe receive thy saule.

From Whinny-muir when thou man'st pass,

Every nighte and alle,

To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last,

And Christe receive they saule.

From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass,

Every nighte and alle,

To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last,

And Christe receive they saule.

If ever thou gavest meat or drink,

Every nighte and alle,

The fire sall never make thee shirnk,

And christe receive thy saule.

If meat or drink thou ne'er gave'st nane,

Every nighte and alle,

The fire will burn thee to the bare bane,

And Christe receive thy saule.

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,

Every nighte and alle,

Fire and sleet, and candle-lighte,

And Christe receive thy saule.
