| Here is the storehouse of her majesty |
| Well guarded by sentry |
| But looks are free |
| Call this the rayless and benighted age |
| Witches by tallow candles |
| Shifted their shapes |
| Here is the pestle and mortar |
| That ground the poison seed |
| A lute, a suit for jousting |
| And the poems of a balladeer |
| When all the latin books were copied off |
| In golden script |
| Hoarded away in |
| A monastery crypt |
| Superstition beyond belief |
| Over mountain, over dune and over sea |
| Crude map and compass lead the caravan |
| And lead the fleet |
| Here is the loot and plunder |
| They bore home |
| Ivory tusk inlaid with precious stone |
| Raw silk and spices by the barrel load |
| A soft skin drum with mallets |
| Of human bone |
| A world wide rampage |
| Rampage of greed |
| So here the tour concludes |
| The colonial wing |
| The rooms of the most refined |
| Museum property |
| An early pair of spectacles |
| A claw footed divan |
| Ornate clocks with birds that strut |
| On the half hours and quarter hours |
| Hear them chime |
| Name | Year |
