robert herrick - an ode of the birth of our saviour - ghizela rowe lyrics

in numbers, and but these few
i sing thy birth, oh jesu!
thou pretty baby, born here
with sup’rabundant scorn here;
who for thy princely port here
hadst for thy place
of birth, a base
out*stable for thy court here

instead of neat enclosures
of interwoven osiers;
instead of fragrant posies
of daffadils and roses
thy cradle, kingly stranger
as gospel tells
was nothing else
but, here, a homely manger

but we with silks, not cruels
with sundry precious jewels
and lily*work will drеss thee;
and as we dispossess thee
of clo}ts, we’ll makе a chamber
sweet babe, for thee
of ivory
and plaster’d round with amber
the jews, they did disdain thee;
but we will entertain thee
with glories to await here
upon thy princely state here
and more for love than pity:
from year to year
we’ll make thee, here
a free*born of our city
