Our May Queen: The Lass that Loved a Sailor

Our “May” Queen: “The Lass that Loved a Sailor”

John Gordon Thomson (1841-1911)

Fun 57-58 (17 May 1893): 203

“The latest exhibits at our imperial institute”

Two of the lines from the verses on p. 208: “For I'm to be King o’my May, grandma, “For I'm to be King o’my May. / Years hence, perhaps, who knows, grandma! — I shall in fact be seen / Upon your throne as King, with her beside me as my Queen.”
