Come, Guard This Night On Christmas Eve Another Ceremony Christmas Poetry By Robert Herrick Source: William Henry Husk, Songs of the Nativity (London: John Camden Hotten, 1868) Come, guard this night the Christmas pie, That the thief, though ne'er so sly, With his flesh-hooks don't come nigh To catch it. From him who all alone sits there, Having his eyes still in his ear, And a deal of nightly fear, To watch it. Husk's Note: 3. Crust. The Christmas pie alluded to in these lines was not, as many might suppose, a mince-pie – such as a Christmas pie as Little Jack Horner sat eating in his corner – but a much more elaborate and extensive compound of good things in use amongst our forefathers in olden times. The records of the Worshipful Company of Salters of London contain a receipt written in 1394, in the reign of Richard II [1367-1400], instructing the cooks of that age how “For to make a moost choyce paaste of gamys to be eaten at ye feast of Chrystemasse,” a copy of which, in modern spelling, is here preseented for the delectation of the reader. 4. Forced-meat. 5. Eggs. “For to make a most choice pastry of game to be eaten at the Feast of Christmas. “Take Pheasant, Hare, and Chicken, or Capon, of each one; with two Partridges, two Pigeons, and two Conies; and smite them in pieces, and pick clean away therefrom all the bones that ye may, and therewith do them into a foyle 3 of good paste, made craftily in the likeness of a bird's body, and with the livers and hearts, two kidneys of sheep, and forces 4 and eyren 5 made into balls.
