Hay dance
In the Purcell opera King Arthur of 1691 there is a rowdy song, at the end, "Your hay it is Mow'd, and your Corn is Reap'd" (Comus and peasants), is it possible that the Hay Dance here is referring in some way to this? Or is the allusion just to hanging? --AJim (talk) 18:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
