      I know! Oh you're getting close with that first word!

      And what are you doing instead?
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          I know the feeling, Northo!

          Let's recap:

          M.... rapidly e.g. quickly... linked with your alternative to the Olympics...

          a wanderer, apparently roaming?

          with three versions of an Anglo-German sounding dance.... the name of this dance means 'German'

          Tell me when you want more!

          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Yes! You're looking for the Anglo spelling though...

                I think I should assist further - sorry this has proved so thorny!



                M.... rapidly - the capital is key: Quickly. And Julie Walters...

                a wanderer, apparently Is she roaming? Also Shakespearean...

                with three versions of an Anglo-German sounding dance.... You're after an Alman which someone wrote in 3 versions (I think)

                              No perhaps, mistress. 'Tis she.

                              Quilter and Finzi had something to say about the remaining one...

                                I was thinking of " .. I am that merry wanderer of the night.
