The two first lines of this jingle appear to be a remnant of a Druidical chant, and to resolve themselves into, _Aidhe, doire luchd--doire luchd, Aidhe doire leigh, doire leigh._ _Aidhe_, an interjection, is pronounced Hie; _doire_, is trees or woods; _luchd_, people; and _leigh_, healing; and also a physician, whence the old English word for a doctor, a leech, so that the couplet means Hey to the woods people! to the woods people! Hey to the woods for healing, to the woods for healing. If this translation be correct, the chorus would seem to have been sung when the Druids went in search of the sacred mistletoe, which they called the "heal all," or universal remedy. There is an old Christmas carol which commences-- _Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!_ This is the salutation of the Angel Gabriel. Mr Halliwell, in his Archaic Dictionary, says "Nowell was a cry of joy, properly at Christmas, of joy for the birth of the Saviour." A political song in a manuscript of the time of King Henry the Sixth, concludes-- Let us all sing nowelle, Nowelle, nowelle, nowelle, nowelle, And Christ save merry England and spede it well. The modern Gaelic and Celtic for Christmas is _Nollaig_--a corruption of the ancient Druidical name for holiday--from _naomh_, holy, and _la_, day, whence "Naola!" the burden of a Druidical hymn, announcing the fact that a day of religious rejoicing had arrived for the people. A very remarkable example of the vitality of these Druidic chants is afforded by the well-known political song of "_Lilli Burlero_" of which Lord Macaulay gives the following account in his History of England:--
