And indeed much sin committed by wicked meetings with fiddlers

And indeed much sin committed by wicked meetings with fiddlers

And indeed much sin committed by wicked meetings with fiddlers



The same newspaper continues: This day was more observed by people's going a maying than for divers years past, and indeed much sin committed by wicked meetings with fiddlers, drunkenness, ribaldry, and the like: great resort came to Hyde-Park, many hundred of rich coaches, and gallants in rich attire, but most shameful powdered-hair men, and painted and spotted women; some men played with a silver ball, and some took other recreation.
