"He kept no Christmas-house for once a year; Each day his boards were filld with lordly fare: He fed a rout of yeomen with his cheer, Nor was his bread and beef kept in with care: His wine and beer to strangers were not spare; And yet beside to all that hunger grievd His gates were ope, and they were there relievd."
