There were songs for weddings, funerals, dances, banquets, songs for the tinkers, the barbers, and other workmen. If modern readers chance to pick up an Elizabethan novel, like Thomas Lodge's Rosalynde , they are surprised to find that prose will not suffice for the lover, who must "evaporate" into song like this: "Love in my bosom like a bee, Doth suck his sweet.
They have had to take in all travellers without discrimination; yet there is not a vestige of legislation in the English statute-book regulating the prices to be charged by hotels.
