What crew the cockerel On Christmas morn? It crew ''Christus natus est!'' Loudly ''Christus natus est!'' Gladly ''Christus natus est!'' Christ, the Christ is born! ''Quando, quando?'' quacked the duck. When, O when? cried she. ''In hac nocte'', croacked the raven, Humped upon a tree, ''In hac nocte, in hac nocte,'' This very night, quoth he. ''Ubi, ubi?'' lowed the cow, Where? she asked of them. ''Ubi, ubi?'' None could tell, Till a little lamb Baa'ed out bravely, high and clear, Bleated, ''Bethlehem.'' Joyfully the donkey's voice Answered lambkin so: ''Eamus!'' said the ass's bray, As all Christian men now say ''Eamus!'' Let us go.
