A ring dance with this line or something like it has spread around the world.

The old French carole, a ring dance with song, may derive from the Greek choros, a circling dance associated with fertility rites and celebration.

Others ally it with corolla, a garland, circle or coronet,1 the earliest sense of the word being apparently “a ring” or “circle,” “a ring dance.”

The idea underlying this "ring dance," as the title means literally, is the same one that recurs under a much more attractive aspect in "Countess Mizzie."

There is not space to describe more of these ring dances here, but there are many of them, and a great many which our English children would do well to adopt.
