"Celestial fowlès in the air,
Sing with your notès upon the height,
In firthès and in forests fair
Be mirthful now at all your might;
For passèd is your dully night;
Aurora has the cloudès pierced,
The sun is risen with gladsome light,
Et nobis puer natus est."

[Merry first day of Christmas to everyone celebrating it today whether religiously, secularly, or both! And happy first day of Chanukah to all who lit the first candle last night! Also, happy Newtonmas!]
