The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is an English folk dance, which dates back to the Middle Ages. The dance takes place each year in Abbots Bromley, a village in Staffordshire, England. The modern version of the dance involves reindeer antlers, a hobby horse, "Maid Marian," and a Fool.

A crazy salad with their meat
Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.”

They dance on the surface among the flies.”
