HENRY AND MARY

Henry was a worthy king,

Mary was his queen,

He gave to her a snowdrop

Upon a stalk of green.

Then all for his kindness

And all for his care

She gave him a new-laid egg

In the garden there.

Love, can you sing?

I cannot sing.

Or story-tell?

Not one I know.

Then let us play at queen and king,

As down the garden walks we go.
