folklore:-
"PLOUGH MONDY PLAYS
We used to go round the houses with faces black and they allways expecting us
and dashing in the houses. One would go in first and say.
In comes bold Slasher,
Bold Slasher is my name,
My body is made of brass,
And my arms is made of steel,
And I do declare no man can make me feel,
I can make you feel bold Slasher,
So put up your sword and let us to
And I will turn thy body into Irish stew."
