While we're on the subject of the Amalekites, the version I learned was: GOLIATH OF GATH Goliath of Gath In hith helmet of brath Wath theated one day All on the green grath When up wan thlim David The thervant of Thaul And thaid, "I will thlay you "Although I am thmall." He wan to the wiver And chothe five thmooth thtoneth To thling at Goliath And break all hith boneth. He dwew one, and thlang it - It thoared through the thky And thmote bold Goliath Wight over the eye! Goliath fell down All on the gween thward And up wan thlim David And took up hith thword. He picked up the thword And hewed off hith head And Ithrael thouted "GOLIATH ITH DEAD!" (a little unthertain about the conjunction between the thecond-latht and latht vertheth there.)
