| | | WHEN good King Arthur ruled the 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, | 5 |
| And stuffed 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 noblemen beside; | 10 |
| And what they could not eat that night, | |
| The queen next morning fried. | | | | |
