Did the Song of the Bander-log use "festoon"?
Yes!
Road-Song of the Bandar-Log
Here we go in a flung festoon
Half-way up to the jealous moon!
Don't you envy our pranceful bands?
Don't you wish you had extra hands?
Wouldn't you like it if your tails were
--so--
Curved in the shape of a Cupid's bow?
Now you're angry, but --never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
by Rudyard Kipling, of course.
