How are you getting on? The second verse is coming up, let’s look at the vocabulary:

housewife, good-wife
master of the house, man of the house
my grandmother
grandfather
milkmaid
cowherd
servant
skivvy

The first two lines start pairing up the couples who were at the dance:

The man of the house danced with the good-wife,
The skivvy with the servant

The second two lines continue that theme of pairing off the couples:

The cowherd danced with the milkmaid,
My grandfather and grandmother danced together

Now we’re comfortable, let’s put the four lines together:

The man of the house danced with the good-wife,
The skivvy with the servant,
The cowherd danced with the milkmaid,
My grandfather and grandmother danced together
