John Jeffreys - A Lyke-Wake Dirge

This ae nighte, this ae nighte
Every nighte and alle
Fire and fleete and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule

When thou from hence away art past
Every nighte and alle
To Whinnymuir thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy saule

If ever thou gav'st hoes'n and shoon
Every nighte and alle
Sit thee down and put them on;
And Christe receive thy saule

If hoes'n and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nanе
Every nighte and alle
Thе winnies shall prick thee to the bare bane;
And Christe receive thy saule

From Whinnymuir when thou may'st pass
Every nighte and alle
To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;
And Christe receive thy 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 thy saule
If ever thou gav'st meat or drink
Every nighte and alle
The fire shall never make thee shrink;
And Christe receive thy saule

If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'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 fleete and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule
