The knees. To bring any one down on his marrow bones; to make him beg
pardon on his knees: some derive this from Mary's bones, i.e. the
bones bent in honor of the Virgin Mary; but this seems rather far -
fetched. Marrow bones and cleavers; principal instruments in the band
of rough music: these are generally performed on by butchers, on
marriages, elections, riding skimmington, and other public or joyous
occasions.
