Nares, in his _Glossary_, says this is “a game of which we seem to know no more than that the loser in it was to give up his place to be occupied by another.” Minshew gives it thus: “To play at _levell coil_, G. jouer à cul levé: _i.e._, to play and lift up your taile when you have lost the game, and let another sit down in your place.” Coles, in his _English Dictionary_, seems to derive it from the Italian _leva il culo_, and calls it also “Pitch-buttock.” In his _Latin Dictionary_ he has “_level-coil_, alternation, cession;” and “to play at _level coil_, vices ludendi præbere.” Skinner is a little more particular and says, “Vox tesseris globulosis ludentium propria:” an expression belonging to a game played with little round tesseræ. He also derives it from French and Italian. It is mentioned by Jonson, _Tale of a Tub_, iii. 2:— “Young Justice Bramble has kept _level-coyl_ Here in our quarters, stole away our daughter.” Gifford says that, in our old dramatists, it implies riot and disturbance. The same sport is mentioned by Sylvester, _Dubartas_, IV. iv. 2, under the name of _level-sice_:— “By tragick death’s device Ambitious hearts do play at _level-sice_.” In the margin we have this explanation: “A kinde of Christmas play, wherein each hunteth the other from his seat. The name seems derived from the French _levez sus_, in English, arise up.” Halliwell’s _Dictionary_ says that Skelton, ii. 31, spells it _levell suse_. Libbety, Libbety, Libbety-lat A child stands before a hassock, and as if he were going up stairs, he puts on it first his right and then his left foot, gradually quickening his steps, keeping time to the words— Libbety, libbety, libbety-lat, Who can do this? and who can do that? And who can do anything better than that? —Cornwall (_Folk-lore Journal_, v. 59). Limpy Coley A boy’s game undescribed.—Patterson’s _Antrim and Down Glossary_. Little Dog I call you A number of girls stand in a line with their backs to a wall. One of their number is sent away to a distance, but remains within call. Another girl, who stands in front of the line, asks the girls one by one what they would like if they could obtain their desires. After she has asked every one, she tells them to turn their faces to the wall, and calls after the girl who was sent away, saying, “Little Dog, I call you.” The girl replies, “I shan’t come to please you.” “I’ll get a stick and make you,” is the rejoinder. “I don’t care for that.” “I’ve got a rice pudding for you.” “I shan’t come for that.” “I’ve got a dish of bones.” “I’ll come for that.” The Dog then comes. The girls have been previously told not to laugh whilst the one who stands out is talking to the Dog. Then the girl says to the Dog— All the birds in the air, All the fishes in the sea, Come and pick me out (for example) The girl with the golden ball.
