Ben Jonson - Christmas, His Masque (extract)
Work rating: Low

Why Gentlemen, doe you know what you doe? ha! 
Would you ha`kept me out? Christmas, old Christmas? 
Christmas of London, and Captaine Christmas? 
Pray you let me be brought before my Lord Chamberlaine, i`le not be answer`d else: 
`Tis merrie in hall when beards wag all: 
I ha`seene the time you ha`wish`d for me, for a merry Christmas, 
And now you ha`me; they would not let me in: 
I must come another time!
A good jest, as if I could come more than once a year;
Why, I am no dangerous person, and so I told my friends,  o`the Guard. 
I am old Gregorie Christmas still
