Advent follies, day 3

[lumineaux]

So far I am duly impressed that I have been unable to stump anyone.

Our wassail cup is made
Of the rosemary tree,
And so is your beer
Of the best barley. 

And the extra credit obscure carol du jour:

C’est Jésus, bonnes gens du hameau,
Le Christ est né, Marie appelle
Ah! Ah! Ah! que la mère est belle
Ah! Ah! Ah! que l’Enfant est beau.

Isn't the first simply called Wassail?

"Wassail, Wassail, all over the town, our bread it is white and our ail it is brown" preceeds your verse.

Nope. Try again.

Wassail song

Oh here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Oh here we come a-wandering
So fair to be seen.

Refrain:
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you
A Happy New Year,
A Happy New Year.

Our wassail cup is made
Of the rosemary tree,
And so is your beer
Of the best barley. (Refrain)

Call up the Butler of this house,
Put on his golden ring;
Let him bring us a glass of beer
And better we shall sing. (Refrain)

Bring us out a table,
And spread it with a cloth;
Bring us out some mouldy cheese,
And some of your Yule loaf. (Refrain)

Yes on the first.

On the French, I'm looking for a title.

Bring a torch- Jeanette Isabelle

The only french christmas carol I know is "Ille est ne le divine enfant" which my French teacher drilled into my poor little head. Which I can, by the way, still sing at the top of my lungs. I just don't think you want me to. :-)
