2833 Sir John Sukling 1609-1642 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:2833
AUTHOR:Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
QUOTATION:Her feet beneath her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out, 1
  As if they feared the light;
But oh, she dances such a way!
No sun upon an Easter-day
  Is half so fine a sight.
ATTRIBUTION:Ballad upon a Wedding.
