The line 'here comes the candle to light you to bed' refers to the practice

 All you that in the condemned hole do lie,

 Prepare you for tomorrow you shall die;

 Watch all and pray: the hour is drawing near

 That you before the Almighty must appear;

 Examine well yourselves in time repent,

 That you may not to eternal flames be sent.

 And when St. Sepulchre's Bell in the morning tolls

 The Lord above have mercy on your soul.
