Tell me truly, Maidens three,
Where can all these wonders be?
Where tooth of lion, eye of ox,
And foot of cat and tail of fox,
With ear of mouse and tongue of hound }
And beard of goat, together bound
With hair of Maiden, strew the ground.

And foot of cat and tail of fox,
With ear of mouse and tongue of hound }
And beard of goat, together bound
