The Antique Shop
In this chair Julius Cæsar mused,
Before he crossed the Rubicon,
And great Napoleon waved this sword,
The day he captured Ratisbon.
With this quill William Shakespeare turned
His verses for the world's delight,
And here's the very violin
That Nero played one burning night.
This pipe Sir Walter Raleigh smoked,
When his was England's brightest name,
And this old gun was Captain Kidd's—
That sputtered clouds of pirate flame.
Elizabeth once wore these rings,
When she was queen of land and sea,
And this—Priscilla's spinning wheel,
A heritage of history.
The door is open, welcome, friends,
Step in and purchase while you may,
We've all the latest antiques made,
We get new shipments every day!
