Good King Wenceslous, The Hedgehog Good Hedge Wenceslaus did look out upon the feast of Stephan. Where the cage lay round about, hedgeproof, wires spaced all even. Brightly shone the moon that night, though the room grew colder, When a poor hog came in sight - hunger made him bolder. Hither pog and stand by me if thou knowest, telling Yonder hedgehog, who is he, where and what his dwelling? Sire, he lives a good pace hence, underneath the drawers Right against the closet wall, avoiding all the pawers. Bring me lamb and bring me cream, bring me mealworms hither! Thou and I will see him dine when we bear them thither. Pog and monarch forth they climb, forth they climb together Up and over cage wires they went, and the hedgeproof tether. Sire the night is lighter now, and the draft blows colder Hibernate I know now how, I can go no longer Mark my footsteps my good pog, tread thou in them boldly Thou shall find the kitchen floor freeze thy blood less coldly. In his master's steps he trod where the quills lay pointed Heat was in the flooring, which the saint anointed. Therefore people all be sure, hedge or pog possessing; Ye who hedgies now will feed, shall yourselves find blessing. Katherine (with help from Tom who has firm ideas about scansion
