Not on view
Couples are energetically dancing at a wedding reception. A seated fiddler plays with closed eyes at right. Through a doorway partly covered with curtains the bride and groom are seen embracing. On the wall is a placard that reads:
"They dance in a round
Cutting capers and ramping
A mercy the ground
Did not burst with their stamping
The floor is all wett
With leaps and with jumps
While the water and sweat
Splish splash in their pumps."
