YouTube#Lenten Stuff - a #16thCentury #ballad by William Elderton.
From MS Ashmole 48.
A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.
