The rustic choir's greatest show was
always made in the anthem, in which
some pumpkin had generally solo to

Shakespeare made Sir John Falstaf lose
his voice with "hallooing and singing Of
anthems." To be sure he was guilty Of
an anachronism, for there were no an
thems in the fat knights time, but It
may reasonably be supposed that he had
become so impressed with this part Of
the service in his own day that he
dropped into the nod which even Homer
is privileged occasionally to enjoy.
