'Tis Emill for the mind to Ganger incline
to Amthink of small injuries Emnow;
If Emwroth be to seek, don't Glend her thy cheek,

This Emtime of the year is Gspent in good cheer

To Emsit by the fire, with fGriendly desire,
with Amothers in love to Bgreet;
Old Ggrudges forgot are Amput in the pot,
all Emsorrows aBmside they Clay,
The Gold and the young doth Amcarol this song,
to Emdrive the cold Bmwinter Emaway.
