GUEST,Kim C no cookie	Sugar Wassail (19)	Sugar Wassail	02 Dec 08
So, Mister picked up a copy of Waterson-Carthy's Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man (get a copy if you don't have it, I'm just sayin). Anyhow, I have a question about the Sugar Wassail. The last verse says, Bring out your silver tankards, likewise your kissing spear. . . or is it steer? I never heard of a kissing spear or a kissing steer and Googling either one brings up some interesting results, none of which are what I want to know. So. Who knows what that line actually says, and furthermore, what is the object in question? Many thanks. :-)
