An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 445
^ His Highness Fol-de-diddle and His Lowness Fol-de-dee(Just why they had such names as that, I really cannot see!)Oer the bounding, bubbling billows were briskly bowling on,To find the Town of Thither in the happy Land of Yon. i His Highness Fol-de-diddle was exactly six feet three,And three feet… … When they reached the Isle of Nonsense, it was very late at night,So very carefully they moored their bark within a bight;Then started out to find the shore, wherever it might be,But, as they could not see to land, they landed in the sea. 34 THE HAPPY LAND OF YON 315
