When good King Arthur ruled this land,
He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley-meal
To make a bag-pudding.
当亚瑟王治理这片土地的时候
他是一位伟大的王
他偷了三袋麦片
为了做一个大布丁
A bag-pudding the king did make,
And stuffed it well with plums;
And in it put great lumps of fat,
As big as my two thumbs.
这个王做的布丁
放进许多葡萄干
还放进了一块大奶油
就像我的两个拇指那么大
The king and queen did eat thereof,
And noblemen beside;
And what they could not eat that night,
The queen next morning fried.
王后吃了该吃的那份
吃了身边贵族们的那份
还吃了那天晚上不该吃的那份
第二天早上皇后被油煎了
