THERE was an old

was an old woman, and what do you think?
She lived upon nothing but victuals and drink :
Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet;
This plaguy old woman could never be quiet.
She went to the baker to buy her some bread,
And when she came home her old husband was dead;
She went to the clerk to toll the bell,
And when she came back her old husband was well.

THERE

PHERE were two birds sat on a stone,

Fa, la, la, la, lal, de;
One flew away, and then there was one,

Fa, la, la, la, lal, de;
The other flew after, and then there was none,

Fa, la, la, la, lal, de;
And so the poor stone was left all alone,

Fa, la, la, la, lal, de !

TWO legs sat up

on three legs,
With one leg in his

lap;
In comes four legs,
-
And runs away with

one leg;
Up jumps two legs,
Catches up three

legs,
Throws it after four

legs,
And makes him

bring back one
leg.

THE girl in the lane, that could'nt speak plain,

Cried gobble, gobble, gobble;
The man on the hill that could'nt stand still,

Went hobble, hobble, hobble.
