Chapter DCI

[The following verses are said by Aubrey to have been sung in
his time by the girls of Oxfordshire in a sport called _Leap
Candle_, which is now obsolete. See Thoms's 'Anecdotes and
Traditions,' p. 96.]

The tailor of Bicester,
He has but one eye;
He cannot cut a pair of green galagaskins,
If he were to try.
