Whosoever against Holly do sing?

In this 15th Century hymn you could hang for speaking against "Holly".

Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, now sing we.

1. Here comes Holly that is so gent,
To please all men is his intent.
Alleluia.

2. But Lord and Lady of this hall,
Whosoever against Holly call.
Alleluia.

3. Whosoever against Holly do cry,
In a lepe he shall hang full high.
Alleluia.

4. Whosoever against Holly do sing,
He may weep and hands wring.
Alleluia.
[1] [2]
