glee| Part song, usually for male voices, in not less than three parts, much cultivated by English composers in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon gliw (‘entertainment’), particularly musical entertainment. Samuel Webbe, Richard Stevens, John Callcott, William Horsley, Thomas Attwood, Jonathan Battishill, Benjamin Cooke, and others cultivated the glee. |

In the midst of the word he was trying to say, In the midst of his laughter and glee, He had softly and suddenly vanished away--- For the Snark *was* a Boojum, you see. The first evening, missing him, Dede sought and found him, lamp in hand, staring with silent glee at the tubs. |
