Take her, take her, the coach is free. The fairest one that I can see is bonny (    ), come with me. [No!] The dirty sclipe, she won’t come out, she won’t come out, she won’t come out; The dirty sclipe, she won’t come out to dance along with me. Now, I have got another poor maid, &c., To come along with me. —Cullen (Rev. W. Gregor). XXXVI. Here comes two ladies down from Spain, A len (?) [all in] French garland. I’ve come to court your daughter Jane, And adieu to you, my darling. —Scotland (_Notes and Queries_, 3rd series, v. 393). XXXVII. Here are just three tribes come down from Spain, To call upon my sister Jane. My sister Jane, she is far too young; I cannot bear her chattering tongue. The fairest lily that I can see, Is pretty little Lizzie, will ye come to me? [No!] The dirty thing, she won’t come out, she won’t come out, she won’t come out; The dirty thing, she won’t come out, to help us with the dancing.

The boys turn their toes outwards to show their spurs. The number of players on the girls’ side is generally an uneven one, the odd one is the mother and says the dialogue. This is the most general way of playing, but there are interesting variations. Chambers says two parties play, one representing a dame and her daughters, the other the suitors. The suitors move backwards and forwards with their arms entwined. The mother offers her daughters when she says “Smell my lilies,” and the game ends by some little childish trick, but unfortunately, he does not describe this. Miss Ellis (Leicester) says if the number of players suited, probably all the boys, instead of three, would be on one side and the girls on the other, but there is no hard and fast line. They turn out their toes to show their spurs: when they sing or say, “Pass through the kitchen,” &c., the girls stretch out their arms, still keeping hold of hand, and the boys, forming a long tail, wind in and out under their arms as they stand.
