LONG AGO
I wish 1 had lived long, long ago. Among brave knights and ladies fair; To ha ve worn the pretty crinolins. Patches and -powdered hair. When knights rode away on prancing steeds, To fight for their lady’s love. Trusting that good luck would be, Brought by her dainty glove. And scaly dragons with suifl.-y breath. (Their tempers, I believe, were sour) Kept by some wicked king to guard, A princess in a tower, Until some handsome prince rode by, With a shining sword by his side; Who killed the dragon and with « heart of joy, Claimed the princess for his bride. —Original, by Beatrice Kennett.
