A fiddle, flute, and a bass-violin,
Surrounded by a motley group, are playing
That well-adapted tune—“Haste to the wedding.”
Lord Arnold beckon’d to the “master man;”[252]
Whose hurry overturn’d the liquor-can!
His great misfortune soon is set aright,
By something pleasing to the fiddler’s sight;
For which he bowed: but, quickly turning ’round,
He tripp’d, and, falling sideways on the ground,
Smash’d in the “belly” of his instrument;
