Guilhem the Scholar Shall End Each Volume with Staid Commentary.

THE RHYME 
Dance in the Star Chamber 
And Dance in the Pit 
And Eat of your Entrees 
In the Glass House you Sit.

COMMENTARY

A common rhyme for little babies, 'tis thought that this little ditty is part of the corpus of legendary tales regarding the world before Sosaria (see the wonderful fables of Fabio the Poor for fictionalized versions of these stories, also available from this same publisher). According to these old tales, which survive mostly in the hills and remote villages where Lord British is as yet a distant and mythical ruler, the gods of old (a fanciful notion!) met to discuss the progress of creating the world in mystical rooms. A simple analysis reveals these rooms to be mere mythological generalizations.

"The Star Chamber" is clearly a reference to the sky. "The Pit" is certainly an Underworld analogous to the Snake hills of other tales, and "the Glass House" is no doubt the vantage point from which the gods observed their creation. All is simple when seen from this perspective, leaving only the mysterious reference to dinners. Oddly enough the rhyme is universally used only for midnight feedings, never during the day.
