STEENDAM the Poet (whom all men know)
Cuddled his fiddle and poised the bow;
Quoth'a, "True lovers of tales of sprites,
Goblins and phantoms that walk o' nights,
Battles and pirates and pleasant nooks,
Quaint, homely legends from musty books,
Hear! for I carol in lilting rhymes
Rollicking lays of the Good Old Times!"
