Out clanged the Ave Mary bells, And to my heart this message came; Each clamorous throat among them tells What strong-souled martyrs died in flame, To make it possible that thou Should'st here with brother sinners bow. * * * * * Henceforth, when rings the health to those Who live in story and in song, O, nameless dead, who now repose Safe in Oblivion's chambers strong, One cup of recognition true Shall silently be drained to you! In the belfry of Tideswell and of Hathersage, in the Peak of Derbyshire, are a set of rhymed bell-ringing laws. Those at Hathersage we give below; the Tideswell ones are almost word for word similar. You gentlemen that here wish to ring, See that these laws you keep in everything; Or else be sure you must without delay The penalty thereof to the ringers pay. First, when you do into the bellhouse come, Look if the ringers have convenient room, For if you do be an hindrance unto them, Fourpence you forfeit unto these gentlemen. Next, if here you do intend to ring, With hat or spur do not touch a string; For if you do, your forfeit is for that Just fourpence down to pay, or lose your hat. If you a bell turn over, without delay Fourpence unto the ringers you must pay; Or, if you strike, miscall, or do abuse, You must pay fourpence for the ringers' use. For every oath here sworn, ere you go hence, Unto the poor then you must pay twelve pence; And if that you desire to be enrolled A ringer here these orders keep and hold. But whoso doth these orders disobey, Unto the stocks we will take him straight way, There to remain until he be willing To pay his forfeit, and the clerk a shilling.
