130.

N a cottage in Fife

IN

Lived a man and his wife,

Who, believe me, were comical folk;

For, to people's surprise,

They both saw with their eyes,

And their tongues moved whenever they spoke.
When quite fast asleep,

I've been told, that to keep

Their eyes open they scarce could contrive;
They walk'd on their feet,

And 't was thought what they eat
Help'd, with drinking, to keep them alive.

131.

TO market ride the gentlemen,

So do we, so do we;

Then comes the country clown,

Hobbledy gee, hobbledy gee:

First go the ladies, nim, nim, nim;

Next come the gentlemen, trim, trim, trim;
Then come the country clowns, gallop-a-trop.

AT a cake, pat a cake, baker's man,

РАТ

Make me a cake as fast as you can; Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T, And send it home for Tommy and me.

The moon doth shine as bright as day; Leave your supper and leave your sleep, And come with your playfellows into the street. Come with a whoop, come with a call, Come with a good will, or not at all. Up the ladder, and down the wall, A halfpenny roll will serve us all. You'll find milk, and I'll find flour,

And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

134.

EY, diddle, dout, my candle 's out,

HEY,

My little maid is not at home;
Saddle my hog, and bridle my dog,
And fetch my little maiden home.

DING, dong, bell,

Pussy's in the well!

Who put her in?
Little Tommy Lin.

Who pulled her out?

Little Tommy Stout.

What a naughty boy was that,

Who tried to drown poor pussy cat,

That never did him any harm,

But kill'd the mice in his father's barn!
