Deere Chryste let not the cheere of earth	A
To fill our hearts with heedless mirth	A
This holy Christmasse time	B
But give us of thy heavenly cheere	C
That we may hold thy love most deere	C
And know thy peace sublime	B
	-
	-
	-
Full merry waxed King Pelles court	D
With Yuletide cheere and Yuletide sport	D
And when the board was spread	E
Now wit ye well 'twas good to see	F
So fair and brave a companie	G
With Pelles at the head	E
	-
'Come hence Elaine ' King Pelles cried	H
'Come hence and sit ye by my side	H
For never yet I trow	C
Have gentle virtues like to thine	G
Been proved by sword nor pledged in wine	G
Nor shall be nevermo '	-
	-
'Sweete sir my father ' quoth Elaine	G
'Me it repents to give thee pain	G
Yet tarry I may not	I
For I shall soond and I shall die	J
If I behold this companie	G
And see not Launcelot	I
	-
'My heart shall have no love but this	K
My lips shall know no other kiss	K
Save only father thine	G
So graunt me leave to seek my bower	C
The lonely chamber in the toure	C
Where sleeps his child and mine '	-
	-
Then frowned the King in sore despite	L
'A murrain seize that traitrous knight	L
For that he lies ' he cried	H
'A base unchristian paynim he	F
Else by my beard he would not be	F
A recreant to his bride	H
	-
'Oh I had liefer yield my life	M
Than see thee the deserted wife	M
Of dastard Launcelot	I
Yet an' thou hast no mind to stay	N
Go with thy damosels away	N
Lo I'll detain ye not '	-
	-
Her damosels in goodly train	G
Back to her chamber led Elaine	G
And when her eyes were cast	O
Upon her babe her tears did flow	C
And she did wail and weep as though	C
Her heart had like to brast	O
	-
The while she grieved the Yuletide sport	O
Waxed lustier in King Pelles' court	O
And louder houre by houre	C
The echoes of the rout were borne	G
To where the lady all forlorn	G
Made moning in the toure	C
	-
'Swete Chryste ' she cried 'ne let me hear	C
Their ribald sounds of Yuletide cheere	C
That mock at mine and me	F
Graunt that my sore affliction cease	P
And give me of the heavenly peace	P
That comes with thoughts of thee '	-
	-
Lo as she spake a wondrous light	O
Made all that lonely chamber bright	O
And o'er the infant's bed	O
A spirit hand as samite pail	Q
Held sodaine foorth the Holy Grail	Q
Above the infant's head	O
	-
And from the sacred golden cup	R
A subtle incense floated up	R
And filled the conscious air	C
Which when she breather the fair Elaine	G
Forgot her grief forgot her pain	G
Forgot her sore despair	C
	-
And as the Grail's mysterious balm	S
Wrought in her heart a wondrous calm	S
Great mervail 'twas to see	F
The sleeping child stretch one hand up	R
As if in dreams he held the cup	R
Which none mought win but he	F
	-
Through all the night King Pelles' court	O
Made mighty cheer and goodly sport	O
Nor never recked the joy	T
That was vouchsafed that Christmass tide	O
To Launcelot's deserted bride	O
And to her sleeping boy	T
	-
Swete Chryste let not the cheere of earth	A
To fill our hearts with heedless mirth	A
This present Christmasse night	O
But send among us to and fro	C
Thy Holy Grail that men may know	C
The joy withe wisdom dight	O
