I'll fetch a Cup of Sack Wife— How brag he is of his liberty, but the holy day carries it. Here, here sweetheart, they are lóng methinks a coming, the Bells have rung out this half hour, hark now the wind brings the sound of them sweetly again. They ring backwards methinks. I fack they do, sure the greatest fire in the Parish is in our Kitchen, and there's no harm done yet, no 'tis some merry conceit of the stretch-ropes the Ringers, now they have done, and now the Wedding comes, hark, the Fiddlers and all, now have I lived to see a day, come, take our stand, and be ready for the bridecake, which we will so crack and crumble upon her crown: o they come, they come. joy, health; and children to the married pair. Parn. We thank you all. So pray come in and fare. As well as we and taste of every cate: With bonny Bridegroom and his love mate. This begins bravely. They agree better than the Bells e'en now, 'slid they sang tunably till we were all out of the Church, and then they clattered as the devil had been in the Belfry: on in the name of Wedlock, Fiddlers on. On with your melody. Enter the Gates with joy, And as you enter play the sack of Troy. Welcome Bride Parnell. Bridegroom In you before, for we this cake must break. Over the Bride— Forgive me- what's become O' th' Cake wife! It slipped out of my hand, and is fall'n into crumbs I think. crumbs? the devil of crumb is here, but bran; nothing but bran, what prodigy is this? Is my best Brides Cake come to this! oh uvea warth it. How daintily the Bride's hair is powdered with it. My hair stands an end to see it. And mine. I was never so amazed! What can it mean? Pax, I think not on't, 'tis but some of my Father and Mother's roguery, this is a Law-day with 'em, to do what they list. I never fear any thing, so long as my Aunt has but bidden me think of her, and she'll warrant me. Well Gentlemen, let's follow the rest in, and fear nothing yet, the house smells well of good cheer. Gentlemen, will it please you draw near, the guests are now all come, and the house almost full, meat's taken up. We were now coming. But son Gregory, Nephew Arthur, and the rest of the young Gentlemen, I shall take it for a favour if you will (it is an office which very good Gentlemen do in this Country) accompany the Bridegroom in serving the meat. With all our hearts. Nay neighbour Doughty, your years shall excuse you. Peugh, I am not so old but I can carry more meat than I can eat, if the young rascals could carry their drink as well, the Country would be quieter—
