Just an Ordinary Owl? You are welcome, Myylot! It's OK to ask questions about English &c here because they should get 'quality' responses. MyLot is very concerned that discussions should be 'quality' discussions and that is what the Guidelines try to impress on us!

Just an Ordinary Owl? The couplet you refer to is: This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface. This means: 'The holy time of Christmas surpasses/wipes out/replaces all others.' 'Doth' is part of the verb 'to do' (3rd person singular, in this case ... as: 'I...
