+Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,\\
+Bye bye, lully, lullay.\\
+Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,\\
+Bye bye, lully, lullay.
+O sisters too, how may we do\\
+For to preserve this day\\
+This poor youngling for whom we sing,\\
+“Bye bye, lully, lullay”?
+Herod the king, in his raging,\\
+Chargèd he hath this day\\
+His men of might in his own sight\\
+All young children to slay.
+That woe is me, poor child, for thee\\
+And ever mourn and may\\
+For thy parting neither say nor sing,\\
+“Bye bye, lully, lullay.”
