THINKING, GUESSING, AND ACTING GAMES
This is a game which requires some poetical knowledge. The players sit
in a circle and one begins by repeating a line of poetry. The next
caps it by repeating whatever line comes next to it in the poem from
which it is taken. The poem may either be continued or the game may
deal only in couplets or four-lined stanzas. In another quotation game
the first player repeats a line of poetry and the next follows it with
another line of poetry which begins with the last letter of the
previous quotation. Thus, if the first player says--
It was the schooner Hesperus
That sailed the wintry sea,
the next might cap it with--
A man's a man for a' that,
and the next with--
The quality of mercy is not strained.
