[MR] Tavern brawling... (slightly post-period...)

[Bambi TBNL]

Im just an old lady who remembers joining  23 yrs ago. What kept me inlove with the idea was the repeated line, " the middle ages as they should have been!"                 i know times change... But it should be for the better.

Fie, nay prithee, John,
   do not quarrel, none;
   let's be merry and drink a round!
You're a rogue; you've cheated me,
   I'll prove before this company;
   I caren't a farthing, sir, for all you are so stout.
Sir, you lie, I scorn your word,
   or any man that wears a sword;
   for all your huff, who cares a turd.  Oh, who cares for you?
	~ Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

(Unfortunately post period, but still... I don't imagine things were
more civil only a hundred years earlier ;) )

-Ii, who very much wants to find a venue to perform this with three
people on stage--it is just calling out for a dramatic setup.
