Thanks Mamy. Can you please parse?

3 tree is an archaic word for the cross of Christ?

Thanks ae. Now what about HAREM & DOUCE?

[Mamyalynne]

I have seen both answered as such and rather foolishly assumed they may mean something more to a Scottish speaker.

Douce means Sedate - Do = Party, there I stop.

Harem is also an anagram of (i.e. falsified) Herma, which is an Ancient Greek sculpture (bust)
