XXII. THE LITTLE HUSBAND. I HAD a little husband no bigger than my thumb; CONJUX PUSILLUS. HABEBAM parvum conjugem Ut faceret clamorem. XXIII. THE OLD WOMAN. THERE was an old woman called nothing at all, VETULA INFELIX. DICTA "nihil-omnino" olim anus vivebat XXIV. THE ORCHARD. IN the green orchard there stands a green tree, And none in the orchard is fairer to see: The apples are ripe; and, before ever they fall, Reuben and Robin shall gather them all. POMARIUM. IN viridi pomario XXV. JACK SPRATT'S CAT. JACK SPRATT had a cat, and it had but one ear: It went to buy butter when butter was dear. SPRATTI FELIS. JOHANNES SPRATT olim felem habebat Sed butyrum heus! semper magni emebat. 3 XXVI. CROMWELL. I. OLIVER CROMWELL he had a big nose, As large as a parsnip, as red as a rose ; And he cut off the head of King Charles the First, Which no other one but brave Coppernose durst. II. Cromwellius Oliverus magnum nasum habebat, Is Caroli primi caput caedebat III. Cromwellius cui fuit nasus in ore, Regem sacrosanctum, en miseram sortem! IV. Cromwellius dictator naso distinctus Vir est a quo Carolus Rex est exstinctus; Nam capite Carolum is immite truncavit, aliis torvus regem vita privavit. Et prae V. Rex Angliæ Carolus, et martyr vocatus Ab Cromwellio ad mortem est olim damnatus. Regisque amicos multos expulit domo Cromwellius iste, nasutissimus homo. VI. Dictator et dux Cromwell Oliverus Nefas! sed isti quid fuit tunc lex? VII. Fanaticus Cromwell est praeditus naso Regnabat per patriam sic visum est fato. VIII. Per artes nefandas rex ad mortem est ductus. IX. Cromwell Oliverus victor terra marique X. Cromwellius dictator Lelyio depictus XI. Non fuit dictator Cromwellius formosus XII. Oliverus Cromwellius magnum nasum habebat ; Caput Caroli regis dictator caedebat : XIII. Rex Carolus primus vir valde astutus XXVII. HUMPTY DUMPTY. HUMPTY DUMPTY sat on a wall; Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Not all the king's horses, nor all the queen's men, Can put Humpty Dumpty back again. HUMPTIUS DUMPTIUS. HUMPTIUS DUMPTIUS in vallo sedebat ; Corpus restituere possunt Humpti Dumpti. |
