His form was ponderous, and his step was slow;
There never was so wise a man before;
He seemed the incarnate "Well, I told you so!"

His form was ponderous, and his step was slow; There never was so wise a man before; He seemed the incarnate Well, I told you so!

His form was ponderous, and his step was slow; There never was so wise a man before; He seemed the incarnate Well, I told you so!
