The folklore of Meg and her doughters
Seven long strides shalt thou take,
If Long Compton
thou can see
King of England thou shalt be.
And the king shouted:
Stick, stock, stone,
As King of England
I shall be known.
As Long Compton thou canst not see,
King of England thou shalt not be.
Rise up stick, and stand
still stone,
For King of England thou shalt be none.
Thou and thy men hoar stones shall be
And I myself an eldern
tree.
