[Music: PART II.]
5. We have a little purse, / It is made of rabbit skin, / We want a little sixpence / To line it well within. / CHORUS. / Love and joy come to you, / And to you your wassail too! / And God bless you, and send you a happy New Year, / And God send you a happy New Year!
6. Call up the Butler of this house / Put on his golden ring; / Let him bring us a glass of beer / And the better we shall sing. / Love and joy, etc.
7. Bring us out a table / And spread it with a cloth; / Bring us out a mouldy cheese, / And some of your Christmas loaf. / Love and joy, etc.
8. God bless the Master of this house, / Likewise the Mistress too; / And all the little children / That round the table go. / Love and joy, etc.
