Hello again,
Now I'm looking for a carol of which I saw a snippet in a newsletter. It gave no info. other than that it was "an old carolers' song"

'God bless the master of this house,
likewise the mistress too.
May their barns be filled with wheat and corn,
and their hearts be always true.
A Merry Christmas is our wish
Where'er we do appear,
To you a well-filled purse, a well-filled dish,
and a Happy Bright New Year.'

I searched the DT and came up with a "Souling Carol" meant for Nov. 1, which had an identical two lines but was otherwise fairly different.
Thanks
Candace
