STIR UP SUNDAY.

Previous

The 25th Sunday after Trinity is called by the schoolboys “Stir Up Sunday,” from the collect used on that day; and they repeat the following lines without considering their irreverent application:

“Stir up, we beseech thee,
The pudding in the pot,
And when we get home,
We’ll eat it all hot.”

Brand’s Pop. Antiq. 1859, vol. i. p. 414; See Times, November 25th, 1863.
