Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern/Annotated/A Song on the Ivy and the Holly

Nay iuy, nay, hyt shall not be, I wys, Let holy hafe þe maystry as þe maner ys.

Holy stond in þe hall fayre to behold, Iuy stond þe dore, she ys ful sore a cold.
 * Nay iuy, &c.

Holy & hys mery men þey dawnsyn & þey syng, Iuy and hur maydenys þey wepyn & þey wryng.
 * Nay, &c.

Ivy hath a lyve she laghtyt þe colde, So mot þey all ha fae  jvy hold.
 * Nay iuy, nay, hyt, &c.

Holy hat berys as rede as any rose, The foster þe hunters kepe hem fro þe dos.
 * Nay iuy, nay, hyt, &c.

Iuy hath berys as blake as any slo, Ther com þe oule & ete hym as she goo.
 * Nay iuy, nay, hyt, &c.

Holy hath byrdys a ful fayre flok, The nyghtyngale, þe perpyinguy, þe gayntyl lauyrok.
 * Nay, &c.

Gode iuy what byrdys ast ? Non but þe howlat kreye how how.
 * Nay iuy, nay, hyt shal not, &c.
