"Then came the merry masquers in,
And carols roared with blithesome din;
If unmelodious was the song,
It was a hearty note, and strong.
Heed, and in their mumming see
Traces of ancient mystery;
White shirts they wore for masquerade,
And smutted cheeks the visor made."
--Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, 1808
