The MAY-POLE is up,
Now give me the cup;
I'le drink to the
Garlands a-round it:
But first unto those
Whose hands did compose
The glory of flowers
that crown'd it.
The words of Robert Herrick and an 1830-ish illustration, printed from the original wood engraving by Alan Brignull in Wivenhoe.

Ohhh, Maypole dancing and a passing cup, this will surely make the Castle Classes popular!
