Weave we our mirthful dance,

Daughters of Zea!—Moore: Evenings in Greece.

Beneath the moonlight sky

The festal warblings flowed

Where maidens to the Queen of Heaven

Wove the gay dance.—Keble: Christian Year.


Her ‘prentice han’ she tried on man,

An’ then she made the lassies, O.

Burns: Green Grow, &c.
