Lamb Ale
"... the custom is, that on Monday after Whitsun week, there is a fat live lamb provided, and the maids of the town, having their thumbs tied behind them, run after it, and she that with her mouth takes and holds the lamb is declared `Lady of the Lamb' ... attended with music and a Morisco dance of men, and another of women, where the rest of the day is spent in dancing, mirth and merry glee." (Blount, 1679)
