'Tis late, and cold stir up the fire, Sit close, and draw the table nigher; Be merry and drink wine that's old, A hearty medicine 'gainst a cold, Welcome welcome shall fly round! Beaumont and Fletcher: Song in the Lover's Progress. As when the Great Poet,
Uncle Moses was trying to detect her meaning without much success, when he became aware that the old man in the fur cap who had shouted more than once, "I say, master!" was addressing him.
