But who is to be the next Lord Mayor?

And where is King William, of Leicester Square?

And who has emptied my hunting flask?

And who is possessed of Stella's hair?

And who was the Man in the Iron Mask?

And what became of the knee I crossed,

And the rod and the child they would not spare?

And what will a dozen herring cost

When herring are sold at three halfpence a pair?

And what in the world is the Golden Stair?
