Rex Arthurus

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.

Anglië rex imperio potitus,
Hordei nactus modium farinë,
Ordinat coenë¢ properë" institutë¢
Sternere mensam.

Mira farrago exoritur culinë¢,
Turgidis uvis maculata passis
Intus et frustis adipis referta
Pollicis instar.

Rex et affines epulantur omnes
Principes magni dominëque lectë:
Alma regina exoriente luce
Fragmina frixit.
