He praised for dancing ring-around-the-rose-tree,
When honest wives are damned for showing their ankles?
A fig for her!—What, him! a walking hay-cock
That woos a knitting-needle of a nun!
And me! that when I was to home in Bath
Walked into kirk before the beadle’s wife:
My betters? Wait until I win my bet!
FRIAR
What bet?
