Christmas Carol
-
Does anyone know the title of a Christmas Carol that contains the lyrics: "Herod in his raging" or something like that?
It seems that I've heard it before but now, on the feast of the Holy Innocents, I can't remember the carol. Thanks -
Coventry Carol, vs. 2.Herod the king in his raging, charged he hath this day; his men of might, in his own sight, all young children to slay.Thanked by 1M. Jackson Osborn

This line always reminds me of the fact that the role of Herod in the Christmas "mystery" plays was always ripe for overacting. Hence Shakespeare's definition of a 'ham' as someone who "Out-Herod's Herod".
