And leave this poor woman a widow,
The bells shall all ring, and the birds shall all sing,
And we'll all clap hands together.

[The "Three Knights of Spain" is a game played in nearly the same manner as the preceding. The dramatis personæ form themselves in two parties, one representing a courtly dame and her daughters, the other the suitors of the daughters. The last party, moving backwards and forwards, with their arms entwined, approach and recede from the mother party, which is stationary, singing to a very sweet air. See Chambers' 'Popular Rhymes,' p. 66.]
Suitors.
We are three brethren out of Spain,
Come to court your daughter Jane.
