Epig. 19. Christmasse Day.
No matter for Plomb-porridge, or Shrid-pies,Or a whole Oxe offered in Sacrifice
TO COMUS, not to CHRIST, this day I'le sing
Cœlestiall songs to IESUS, who did bring
Unto depraved Adam's race Salvation,
By the Ænigma of his Incarnation:
I'le daunce too, but as Jesses God-like Son
Before the Arke, a sacred Ephod on.
