An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 822
Now how he fought the Zumpus (which lives on cake, t is said),And saved the Lady Lulu (whom he later did not wed).And tamed the fierce Flapdoodle, and painted it sky-blue,I d like to tell you—but I fear you d think it was nt true. … Well, finally Sir Quincum reached the Emperor of Bhong, ^Who was four feet tall (on Mondays), and had coat-tails three yards long.And the message from the king? Well, that was secret, dont you see.So if you wish to know it, ask Sir Quincum—dont ask me!
