Alack, that I'd applied more rigour in the naming of this Thread; I see but lately that it doth appear to shun the fairer Sex. Twas badly wrote. Nowt gentle Men alone but gentle Laydyfolk, I bid: speak and partake.

Yet bid me this conjecture, for I fathom the dozen bespeaks of the turn of the rye. I chanced upon one sorrowful gentleman in times past, and he bespoke of the fallacy that the baker doth know of the seed of the rye. Abstain he may, I said to him, for the bread taketh chance versus the wraith of the kingmaker, but he partook of the wine, and i doth say unto him, here my good man is thy remedy for all thy rustic melodies. But he bid me speak on the knighthood of the wine, yea i said, when thou hast been sober then i shalt sing to thee the psalms. And thou knowest he chanced upon grace, for the maidens beckoned for the harp to be brought to the gathering. Thence followed merrymaking and gallavanting amidst a most jovial occasion. Yet the psalms I did recite, and in this was the occasion redeemed.
