Then someone proposed 'The Cushion Dance'. A young man began by dancing round the room with a cushion until after a while he stopped and sang 'This dance I will no farther go,' to which the three musicians replied in chorus, 'I pray ee, good sir, why say so?' Then the dancer sang, 'Because Betty Prowse will not come to,' and the musicians shouted back, 'She must come to whether she will or no.' Then the man laid his cushion before the girl, she knelt on his cushion and he kissed her. After that they had to circle the room hand in hand singing, 'Prinkum, prankum, is a fine dance, an' shall us go dance it over again.' Then it was the girl's turn.
