"_Swinging Tureen_," (Vol. i., pp. 246. 307. 406.).--
"Next crowne the bowle full
With gentle lamb's-wooll
Adde sugar, nutmeg, and ginger,
With store of ale too;
And thus must ye doe
To make the wassaile a _swinger_."
Herrick, cited in Ellis' _Brand_, ed. 1849, vol. i. p. 26.
By the way, is not the "lanycoll" (so called, I presume, from the froth

old ballad of "King Edward and the Shepherd" (Hartshorne's _Met. Tales_, p.
54.), the same beverage as "lamb's-wool?"
