"God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy!
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas Day."
Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (1826-1887), British poet. God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen (l. 1-9). . .

"Oh my son's my son till he gets him a wife,
But my daughter's my daughter all her life."
