REX ARTHURUS.

Listen in the reader

When King Arthur ruled the land, He ruled it like a king: He bought four pecks of barley-meal To make a brave pudding.

A pudding brave the king did make And stuffed it well with plums; Great lumps of suet he put into it, As big as both his thumbs.

The king and queen partook thereof, And all the court beside; And what they did not eat that night, The queen next morning fried.
