Excerpt from Shakespeare''s Crab Tree: With Its Legend, and a Descriptive Account, Showing Its Relation to the Poet''s Traditional History

Such a challenge resembles those in use even to this day between the Ringers and Psalm-singers, who enjoy nothing so much as to give each other a touch of their quality, and it is more than probable that was the case in the acceptance of this cartel.
