And Emma Kister spelled “transfiguration.”
To Sally Tarvin went the word “officious”;
Next Peter Kerschen overcame “horehound”;
And in this fashion then the words went round.
“Topaz”; “priory”; “orgy”; “orphanage”;
“Inflammable”;—every one was won.
“Surtout”; “gyration”; “muscatel”; “assuage”;
And “legendary”; “lout”;—were spelled each one.
“Escutcheon”; “frenzy”; “intercede”; “lasso”;
And likewise “sentimental”, “domino.”
