“The Song of Mrs. Jenny Geddes.
(Tune—’British Grenadiers.’)
“Some praise the fair Queen Mary, and some the good Queen Bess,
And some the wise Aspasia, beloved by Pericles;
But o’er all the world’s brave women there’s one that bears the rule,
The valiant Jenny Geddes that flung the four-legged stool.
With a row-dow—at them now!—Jenny fling the stool!
