Where Is The Comma In "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" Supposed To Go?
In order to affix the comma properly, one must make some sense of the original clause, and in this I can find no meaning whatsoever. To begin with, what's God got to do with it? And are there various words left out that are supposed to be assumed? Is it "[May] God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"? And what does it mean for God to rest you? So is it "May God Provide Rest to Ye, you Merry Gentlemen, you"?
Deciding where the comma goes is the least of my worries with the phrase "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"!
