A Lyke Wake Dirge - From Turn

This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
Every nighte and alle,
Fire and sleet and candle-lighte,
And Christe receive thy saule.
When thou from hence away art past,
Every nighte and alle,
To ThornWood thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule.
If ever thou gavest cloth and shoon,
Every nighte and alle,
Sit thee down and put them on;
And Christe receive thy saule.
If cloth and shoon thou ne'er gav'st,
Every nighte and alle,
The thorn shall prick thee to the bane;
And Christe receive thy saule
From Thorn? whence thou may'st pass,
Every nighte and alle,
To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saul
From Brig o' Dread whence thou may'st pass,
Every nighte and alle,
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule.
If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st,
Every nighte and alle,
The fire shall burn thee to the bane;
And Christe receive thy saule.
And Christe receive thy saule.
