_bas now sung by the peasantry of the Weald of Surrey and Sussex, and collected by one who has learnt them by hearing them sung every Christmas from early childhood by the country people, who go about to the neighbouring houses, singing, or "wassailing" as it is called, at that season; the airs are set to music exactly as they are now sung, to rescue them from oblivion and to afford a specimen of genuine old English melody; the words are given in their original rough state with an occasional slight alteration to render the sense intelligible /
