The Maremaid.

In this peal behind dodg twelve changes, excepting the sixth which is made on the bells before, and the twelfth which is a single in the 3d and 4ths places; and twelve changes before, excepting also the sixth, which is made by the bells behind, and the twelfth which is a single in 2d and 3ds places. When they dodg behind, every odd change is on the last bells, and every even one a bob, excepting these two changes. When they dodg before, every odd change is a bob, and every even one on the four first bells, excepting likewise those two changes which are made according to the forementioned rule.

The Checkquer. 1 and 5.

In this peal the Treble is whole-hunt, and Tenor the half-hunt for twenty changes; and then Tenor the whole-hunt and treble the half-hunt for the next twenty, and so they hunt by turns throughout the peal. When Treble is the whole-hunt the bells behind always dodg, except it hinders them; and when Tenor is the whole-hunt, the bells before, except that hinders them; when Treble is before and Tenor dodging behind, a single made by the Tenor and the bell which dodged with it; when Tenor is behind and Treble dodging before, a single made by the Treble and the bell which dodgeth with that.

This peal may be rang by hunting the Treble and Tenor as before, and it differeth from it only in this; when it is 1——5 behind in the hunting of the Treble, the bells before dodg till Tenor parts them; and when it is 1——5 before, in the hunting of the Tenor the bells behind dodg till Treble parts them: and then when Treble is the whole-hunt and Tenor half, it is plain Cambridg delight inverted. It may be rang by hunting the half-hunt, as in Cambridg Delight the other way, in either of those ways of ringing it, but then the single is always made by the hunting bell.

An example in that like Cambridg Delight the other way.

In this peal the bells hunt as in Grandsire, and it differeth from it in this, That there is not every other time a single bob, but in stead of a single one every other time a double one: so that only once in four times there is a single bob; when Tenor is dodging behind there is always a single made by it, and the bell which dodgeth with it if Treble leadeth, otherwise not.

1——4.

This peal may be rung like Cambridg Delight, if every other time the dodging before be omitted; or it may be rang by dodging constantly as in Cambridg Delight, by making double bobs and single bobs as in Grandsire: it may likewise be rang by making the course of the half-hunt in all the ways of ringing it the same with Cambridg delight the other way; observing in all of them to make the singles as before directed.

An example of that like Cambridg Delight the other way, in which the dodging before is every other time omitted. 1——4.

Cambridg Marigold. 1. 2. and 3.

In this peal are 720 changes, which are all doubles except 12 singles which are made as in Plain trebles and doubles. Treble is a perfect Hunt, and except the dodges (which are the same as in Oxford double Bob) every double change is made by the treble and the three next bells to it: observing always that the bell in Tenor’s place lieth still ’till it giveth place to the Treble, or be removed by a dodg behind when the Treble is before. When Treble leaveth 3ds place hunting up, the bell that then comes before, leads thrice, and likewise the next bell after it till Treble cometh back into 3ds place again; at all other times every bell leads twice. The bell in Tenor’s place lieth five times behind, (and when the single is made in the middle ten times) till treble remove it; and when treble comes back it lieth five times more behind, and then is displaced by a dodg behind and hunts down at whole-pulls. This peal may be rang by making bobs single and double as in Grandsire Bob with but two singles or two trebles, which must be made just Eighteen score changes one from the other.

The Nightingall. 1. 2. and 3.

In this peal are 720 changes, which are all doubles except twelve singles, which are made as in the former peal; and if you ring Grandsire Bob upon it, there may be but two singles, or else two trebles, as in the Marigold. Treble is a perfect Hunt: the bells in 4th and 5th places dodg till treble parts them, and then the two foremost bells do the like for eight changes together till treble hinders them, and gives way to the other two bells to dodg again in the 4th and 5th places, which is always for three changes and no more, except when the single is made in that place, and then they dodg six times. When treble is behind, dodg the four first; when it is before on the four last, as in Marigold.
