A lesson for the whole sect of Chrismas-mongers.

MAsks, Mummings, Massings, are made Coverings For Chrismass-mongers to do evil things. There's carding, diceing, drinking, bellowing, roaring, And under Chrismass cloaks rogues go a whoring. In fudling Schools 'mongst fools, there Bacchus bears the Bell, And Chrismass-mongers dance and prance away to hell.
