There was an Old Person of Sparta, Who had twenty-one sons and one 'darter'; He fed them on snails, And weighed them in scales, That wonderful Person of Sparta.

There was an Old Person of Sparta,
Who had twenty-one sons and one 'darter';
He fed them on snails,
And weighed them in scales,
That wonderful Person of Sparta.
