dade

“When the king enjoys his own again”, first published in 1643, is a Cavalier ballad written by Martin Parker during the English Civil War to honor King Charles I. According to historian Dr. Bernard Capp, the song was perhaps the most popular song in mid-seventeenth century England. The eighteenth-century critic Joseph Ritson called it “the most famous and popular air ever heard in this country” - clips from the film Cromwell 1970 starring Sir Alec Guinness, a practiced Catholic

“Dade” is a noun substitute for “papa”. My father was sometimes called, “Dade”. It can be used as a verb meaning to hold up by the hand, as a child while he toddles, or to walk unsteadily, as a child learning to walk. “No sooner taught to dade, but from their mother trip.” – Drayton
