DIDDLETY, diddlety, dumpty, The cat ran up the plum-tree; To fetch her down, Diddlety, diddlety, dumpty. 136. DING, dong, bell, Pussy's in the well! Who put her in? 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! 137. ONE, two, three, four, five, I caught a hare alive; Six, seven, eight, nine, ten HEY, diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jump'd over the moon; The little dog laugh'd To see such sport, And the dish ran after the spoon. 139. ROBIN and Richard Were two pretty men, They lay in bed Till the clock struck ten; Then up starts Robin And looks at the sky, Oh, brother Richard, The sun's very high! 140. HERE was a man of Thessaly, THERE And he was wondrous wise, He jump❜d into a quickset hedge, And scratch'd out both his eyes; RAIN, rain, go away, Come again another day; Little Johnny wants to play. 142. OME, good Mr. Watts, COME, Will We are troubled with rats, you drive them out of the house? We have mice too in plenty, That feed in the pantry; But let them stay And nibble away; What harm's in a little brown mouse? 143. HAD a little hobby horse, Its head was made of pea-straw, Its tail was made of hay. I sold it to an old woman For a copper groat; And I'll not sing my song again 94 HREE children sliding on the ice THREE Upon a summer's day, As it fell out, they all fell in, The rest they ran away. Now had these children been at home, Ten thousand pounds to one penny, You parents all that children have, 145. JACK and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. 95 H, dear, what can the matter be! Two old women got up in an apple-tree; And the other staid up till Saturday. 147. HAVE you ever heard of Billy Pringle's pig? It was very little, and not very big; When it was alive it lived in clover, So there's an end of all the three, Billy Pringle he, Betsy Pringle she, and poor little piggy wigee. 148. HUMPTY Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; All the king's horses and all the king's men 96 |
