Yar!

"Storys of Wassail"
by Saxo the Learned

When he had done these things and gone back to his own land, one Skat entertained him at a banquet, desireous to mingle his toilsome warfare with joyous lisence. Forde was lying in his house, in royal fashion, upon cushions of cloth of gold, and a certain Hunding challenged him to fight. Then, though he had bent his mind to the joys of Wassail (Wassail!). he had more delight in the prospect of a fray than in the presence of a feast, and would up the supper with a duel and the duel with a triumph.
