In the Western Counties bell-ringing was a favourite and delightful
pastime. Parties of ringers went about from parish to parish and rang
on the church bells, very generally for a prize--"a hat laced with
gold." At Launcells, where the bells are of superior sweetness, the
ringers who rang for the accession of George III rang for that of
George IV, there not having been a gap caused by death among them in
sixty years. No songs are so popular and well remembered at
bell-ringers' feasts as those that record the achievements of some who
went before them in the same office. I give one that has never before
been printed, that can be traced back to 1810, but is certainly older.

             They bear the sway in ring array,
               Where'er they chance to go;
             Good music of melodious bells,
               'Tis their delight to show.

             He casts his eyes about them all,
               And gives the sign to go.
             Away they pull, with courage full,
               The heart it do revive,
             To hear them swing, and music ring,
               One, two, three, four, and five.
