Note 213 — NECKS, MERMEN, AND MERMAIDS.
Reading edition
The Strömkarl has eleven different measures, to ten of which alone people may dance; the eleventh belongs to the night spirit his host. If any one plays it, tables and benches, cans and cups, old men and women, blind and lame, even the children in the cradle, begin to dance.—Arndt. ut sup., see above p. 80.
