When he whipped them he made them dance

Mistress Mary, how does your garden grow?

Title (Tales)

The man in the moon

There was a crooked man

Simple Simon met a pieman

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days

The lion and the unicorn

His bullets were made of lead

65

He used to wear a long brown coat.

Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef

He caught fishes in other men's ditches

Even pigs on their hind legs would after him prance

So Doll and the cow danced "the Cheshire round"
He'll sit in a barn

Merry are the bells, and merry do they ring

He rode till he came to my Lady Mouse hall
Tailpiece

His mare fell down, and she made her will

Three pretty girls were in them then
Title (Riddles and Paradoxes)

I went to the wood and got it

Arthur O'Bower has broken his band

Humpty Dumpty had a great fa!!
Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy, and Bess
If all the world was apple-pie

The man in the wilderness asked me

Here am I, little jumping Joan

Title (Charms and Lullabies)

Cushy cow bonny, let down thy milk

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper

Where's the peck of pickled pepper

Hush-a-bye, baby

Home again, come again

Title (Gaffers and Gammers)

There was an old woman lived under a hill

She had so many children she didn't know what to do 159

D

He was dancing a jig

Title (Games)

There were three jovial Welshmen.

Here comes a candle to light you to bed.

The Five Pigs

Can I get there by candle-light?

Little Jackey shall have but a penny a day

This is the way the ladies ride

This is the way the gentlemen ride .

This is the way the farmers ride

Jack fell down, and broke his crown

A little boy and a little girl lived in an alley
Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

Betwixt them both, they lick'd the platter clean

There I met a pretty miss

Here comes a lusty wooer

Title (Natural History)

I sent him to the shop for a hap'orth of snuff

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?

Four-and-twenty tailors went to kill a snail
There was a piper, he'd a cow

A long-tail'd pig, or a short-tail'd pig
Dame, what makes your ducks to die?
Little Tom Tinker's dog

Pussy and I very gently will play

Lady bird, lady bird, fly away home
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen
Higgley Piggley, my black hen

He's under the hay-cock fast asleep

There I met an old man that would not say

She whipped him, she slashed him.

Willy boy, Willy boy, where are you going?

What are little boys made of?

Girls and boys, come out to play

Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town

Barber, barber, shave a pig

Wished to leap over a high gate
