Excerpt: ...Roving Rob, tread a measure with me I "--" Ay, lassie!" quoth Rob, as her hand he gripes, " Though Satan himself were blowing the pipes I" Now around they go, and around, and around, With hop-skip-and-jump, and frolicsome bound, Such sailing and gilding, Such sinking and sliding, Such lofty curvetting, And grand pirouetting; Ned, you would swear that Monsieur Gilbert And Miss Taglioni were capering there! "And oh! such awful music!--ne'er Fell sounds so uncanny on mortal ear, There were the tones of a dying man's groans Mix'd with the rattling of dead men's bones: Had you heard the shrieks, and the squeals, and the squeaks, You 'd not have forgotten the sound for weeks. And around, and around, and around they go, Heel to heel, and toe to toe, Prance and caper, curvet and wheel, Toe to toe, and heel to heel. " 'Tis merry, 'tis merry, Cummers, I trow, To dance thus beneath the nightshade bough! "--" Goody Price, Goody Price, now riddle me right, Where may we sup this frolicsome night? "--" Mine Host of the Dragon hath mutton and veal! The Squire hath partridge, and widgeon, and teal; But old Sir Thopas hath daintier cheer, A pasty made of the good red deer, A huge grouse pie, and a fine Florentine, A fat roast goose, and a turkey and chine."----" Madge Gray, Madge Gray, Now tell me, I pray, Where 's the best wassail bowl to our roundelay? " "--There is ale in the cellars of Tappington Hall, But the Squire is a churl, and his drink is small; Mine host of the Dragon Hath many a flaggon Of double ale, lamb's-wool, and eau de vie, But Sir Thopas, the Vicar, Hath costlier liquor, --A butt of the choicest Malvoisie. He doth not lack Canary or Sack; And a good pint stoup of Clary wine Smacks merrily off with a Turkey and Chine! " " Now away! and away!...
