Here the men- at-arms mustered before the magistrates with their arms and armour and were regaled with free beef and wine. At the end of the day the magistrates sent a return of the numbers to the Commission of Arraye in London. As an example of this, in 1604 the report of the Commission contained the following: “Leichfield Town, able men 285; armed men 150; pioneers 50; high horses 50”. At Lichfield someone must have decided that having got all the men-at-arms together it was a pity not to do something with them, and so they were paraded around the streets of the city.

P.M. Egan describes Geneva and the story related by Mary Muldoon in his 1895 book Guide to Waterford: :Upon closer examination finding, as it is alleged, the remains of the blood of the numerous heads which were stuck on these walls, spoken of as still to be observed, the interest attached to the place becomes rather intense. Going among the peasantry of the neighbourhood, we were not long in having our ears regaled with the almost breathless and weird tale of Mary Muldoon. :'Well, 'avourneen, a fine young man who drove into the barracks in '98, and made join the sogers. The poor fellow didn't like the iday of goin' agin his own kith and kin, and maybe some day rise a gun to shoot of 'em.

During the American Civil War, veterans sang a song devoted to "The Army Bean" which used a tune derivative of "The Sweet By-and-By". Mark Twain made fun of the song's ubiquitous popularity, along with the demographic groups in which it became popular, in chapter 17 ("A Banquet") of his 1889 satirical novel A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court. The protagonist, Hank Morgan, a visitor from the future, attends a lavish court dinner given by Morgan Le Fay, King Arthur's sister, during which guests are regaled with music: > In a gallery a band with cymbals, horns, harps, and other horrors, opened > the proceedings with what seemed to be the crude first-draft or original > agony of the wail known to later centuries as "In the Sweet Bye and Bye." It > was new, and ought to have been rehearsed a little more.

Probably because of Dimi's age and professional status, he refused to obey Nachman's summons until he was threatened with excommunication.ib. 151a When his son had the misfortune to lose a child within thirty days from its birth, and—contrary to the rabbinic rule, which does not impose mourning for an infant under thirty days of age—he had assumed ritualistic mourning, Dimi remonstrated with him, observing, "It is only because you desire to be regaled with delicacies that you indulge in ritualistic mourning for so young an infant".

Clive Barnes, in his first review of a Riverside Shakespeare production, wrote in the New York Post: > The Riverside Shakespeare owes its name to the fact that it started > operations in Riverside Park, so it was a sort of homecoming for them when I > caught the company in a glade in that park just by 82nd Street ... The > production is modern and carefree – the kind of innovative Shakespeare that > [Joseph] Papp himself favors, and appropriate for a bright summer evening, > with people squatting on the grass, many of them enjoying an alfresco > picnic. Director Timothy Oman has placed the play in New Orleans soon after > the Civil War. The idea works quite well. The play is preceded by a sort of > Mardi Gras revel, and in the intermission we are regaled with a few > vaudeville songs of the period, including a somewhat odd barbershop quartet.

Mullooly served in the East Cape War, and was a guard on the Chatham Islands when Te Kooti and his group escaped. In 1873 he opened the Sea View Hotel at Tolaga Bay, providing his guests with simple, adequate accommodation. One morning a guest complained that his boots were not cleaned, although he left them outside his bedroom door. Mullooly could hardly believe that anyone would have taken the risk of losing his footgear. “You are very lucky,” he told him, “that you found them there in the morning!” What he had in mind was that some of his patrons were noted for their light-fingered habits. Mullooly was described as “a little man who revelled in litigation, but was apt to grasp at the shadow and lose the substance.” His guests could depend on being regaled with his version of his latest battle in the courts.

From Anton Chekhov's A Dreary Story from the notebook of an old man > 'If no progress can be seen in trifles, I should look for it in vain in what > is more important. When an actor wrapped from head to foot in stage > traditions and conventions tries to recite a simple ordinary speech, "To be > or not to be," not simply, but invariably with the accompaniment of hissing > and convulsive movements all over his body, or when he tries to convince me > at all costs that Tchatsky, who talks so much with fools and is so fond of > folly, is a very clever man, and that "Woe from Wit" is not a dull play, the > stage gives me the same feeling of conventionality which bored me so much > forty years ago when I was regaled with the classical howling and beating on > the breast.' Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" refers to the play as "Sorrow from Wit".

The poem begins: > When chapman billies leave the street, > And neibors, neibors, meet; > As market days are wearing late, > And folk begin to tak the gate, > While we sit bousing at the nappy, > An' getting fou and happy, > We think na on the lang Scots miles, > The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles, > That lie between us and our hame, > Where sits our sulky, sullen dame, > Gathering her brows like gathering storm, > Nursing her wrath to keep it warm. > After Burns has located us geographically: > (Auld Ayr, wham ne'er a town surpasses, > For honest men and bonnie lasses). (a quote that gave Ayr United F.C. their nickname "the honest men"), Tam sits and drinks with his friends, and the reader is regaled with a dark prophecy of Tam's wife Kate: > She prophesied that late or soon, > Thou wad be found, deep drown'd in Doon, > Or catch'd wi' warlocks in the mirk, > By Alloway's auld, haunted kirk. > Tam's wife, Kate, is portrayed as an authority to be feared.
