Today is the anniversary of the birth of Sir Isaac Newton.
Does that make it Newton, Mass?
Yeah, right.

brlewis (Bruce R. Lewis):
CHORUS Good King Wenceslas look'd out
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gath'ring winter fuel.
TENOR SOLO ``Hither, page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and in what dwelling?''
SOPRANO SOLO ``Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence,
By Saint Agnes' fountain.''
TENOR SOLO ``Bring me flesh and bring me wine,
Bring me pine-logs hither;
Thou and I will see him dine,
When we bear them thither.''
Page and monarch forth they went,
CHORUS Forth they went together;
Through the rude winds' wild lament
And the bitter weather.
SOPRANO SOLO ``Sire, the night is darker now,
And the winds blow stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer.''
TENOR SOLO ``Mark my footsteps, my good page,
Tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly.''
CHORUS In his master's steps he trod,
Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,
Shall yourselves find blessing.
