In The Days of Long Ago

In The Days of Long Ago :




OH! what a happy time, 'tis said,

When good Queen Bertha spun her thread!

For in that wonder-working day

The doctors cured, nor asked for pay;

The lawyers, men of great renown,

When pleading wore no wig and gown;

And kings who lived at that time, too,

Had very little else to do

Than eat four hearty meals a day,

Then simply fold their arms, they say;

But then this all took place, 'tis said,

When good Queen Bertha spun her thread!
