May God be in this house, and wealth and joy in abundance.
Our Lord Noel sends us to his friends--that is, to lovers, and to the courtly and well-bred--to collect some coppers as a Christmas offering.
Our Lord is reluctant to ask for them himself, but to those who are noble and well-mannered he has sent us in his place; we are some of his wards and children.
