Two daughters stood up and danced with their sires

(The room was so warm they wanted no fires);

And also two sons who danced with their mothers.

Two sisters there were who danced with their brothers;

Two uncles vouchsafed with nieces to dance,

With nephews to jig it and please their two aunts.

Three husbands would dance with none but their wives

(As bent so to do for the rest of their lives).

The granddaughter chose the jolly grandson;

And bride—she would dance with bridegroom—or none.
