Good Queen Bertha

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 reknown,

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.
