It was treason in short, and he bounced into the parlour as Mr. Romley Carolled: "When gracious Anne became our Queen, The Church of England's glory, Another face of things was seen, And I became a Tory; Occasional Conformists base-" There was a scene, and it ended in Romley being shown the door and Patty forbidden to have speech with him.
"Hetty Wesley"
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch
Green sprigs were in his hat, and other some Stuck in his coat; he bore a wooden flute, And redbreasts hopped and Carolled at his foot.
"King Cole"
John Masefield
But blither still and louder Carolled they Upon the morrow, for they seemed to know It was the fair Almira's wedding-day, And everywhere, around, above, below, When the Preceptor bore his bride away, Their songs burst forth in joyous overflow, And a new heaven bent over a new earth Amid the sunny farms of Killingworth.
