“Any they dare challenge for to throw the sledge,
To jump or leap over ditch or hedge;
To wrestle, play at stool-ball, or to run,
To pitch the bar or to shoot off a gun;
To play at loggats, nine-holes, or ten-pins,
To try it out at foot-ball by the shins;
At tick-tacke, seize-noddy, maw, and ruff;
At hot-cockles, leap-frog, or blindman’s buff;
To drink the halper-pots, or deal at the whole can;
To play at chess, or pue, and inkhorn;
