PRISCILLA.
Reading edition
Miles Standish was a fellow Who understood quite well, oh, In fighting with the redskins how to plan, plan, plan. But I think him very silly When he wished to woo Priscilla To send another man, man, man. For she said unto this other, Whom she loved more than a brother, "Why don't you speak, John Alden, for yourself, self, self?" So of course John Alden tarried, And the fair Priscilla married, And they laid poor Captain Standish on the shelf, shelf, shelf.
