THREE children sliding on the ice As it fell out, they all fell in, 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 Half a yard of cloth will make him coat and jacket; Make him coat and jacket, Breeches to the knee; And if you will not have him, you may let him be. 150. WILL sing you a song, Of the woodcock and the sparrow, Of the little dog that burned his tail, And the little boy that must be whipp'd to morrow. 151. THREE HREE blind mice, See, how they run! They all ran after the farmer's wife, Who cut off their tails with a carving knife. Did ever you hear such a thing in your life As three blind mice? LITTLE Willie Winkie runs through the town, Upstairs and downstairs, in his night-gown, Rapping at the window, crying through the lock, Are the children in their beds? for now it's eight o'clock. 153. CROSS Patch, Draw the latch, Sit by the fire and spin; Take a cup, And drink it up, And call your neighbours in. 154. GREAT A, little a, Bouncing B; The cat's in the cupboard, And she can't see. MARY, ARY, Mary, quite contrary, And columbines all of a row. 156. HARK, hark, the dogs do bark, Beggars are coming to town; Some in jags, some in rags, And some in velvet gowns. 157. USH-A-BYE a ba-lamb, You shall have a little stick To beat the naughty bow-wow. DAFFY 158. AFFY-DOWN-DILLY has come up to town |
