Courting come gentlemen jolly;
Gentlemen all from distant Southland!

the girls and telling their errand.
IV
Girls. What offers Simon of Salle?
What offer gentlemen jolly?
Gentlemen all from distant Southland!
Description. Same movements as in verse II.
v
Boys. Castle gives Simon of Salle,
Castles give gentlemen jolly;
Gentlemen all from distant Southland!
Description. The boys make their offers in a bold, daring manner,
but the girls always respond " Nay " until the boys’ hearts are offered.
Anything may be offered, as roses, wealth, etc.

Girls. Nay, nay, O Simon of Salle,
Nay, nay, O gentlemen jolly,
Gentlemen all from distant Southland!
Description. The girls cuitsey in a haughty, distant manner,
scorning the offer.

Angry ride gentlemen jolly;
Gentlemen all from distant Southland!
Description. The boys ride away to the right, with side gallop,
once around the girls’ line, arms lifted with clenched fists over their
heads to indicate anger at their failure. The heels should be struck
together in the gallop step, in imitation of the sound of horses’ hoofs.
