Of Pigs

LONG-TAILED pig and a short-tailed pig,
Or a pig without e’er a tail,
A sow pig, or a boar pig,
Or a pig with a curly tail.

Good King Arthur

WHEN good King Arthur ruled this land
  He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley-meal
  To make a bag-pudding.

A bag-pudding the king did make,
  And stuff’d it well with plums;
And in it put great lumps of fat,
  As big as my two thumbs.

The king and queen did eat thereof,
  And noble men beside;
And what they could not eat that night,
  The queen next morning fried.
