Looks to me like halfway through a ripping version of Ships are sailing his concertina ripped apart and he almost choked in a cloud of dust.

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
