SOME mice sat in a barn to spin;
Puss came by, Puss peeped in.

"Shall I come in and cut your threads off?'

"Oh, no, kind sir! you will snap our heads off."

WHAT are little boys made of, made of? What are little boys made of?

Snaps and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails; And that's what little boys are made of, made of.

What are little girls made of, made of, made of?

Sugar and spice, and all that's nice;

And that's what little girls are made of, made of.

THE OLD WOMAN AND HER EGGS

THERE HERE was an old woman, as I've heard tell,

She went to the market her eggs for to sell;

She went to the market, all on a market

day,

And she fell asleep on the King's high

way.

There came a little peddler, his name it was Stout,

He cut off her petticoats all round about; He cut off her petticoats up to her knees, Until this old woman began for to freeze.

When the little old woman began to awake,

She began to shiver, and she began to

shake;

Her knees began to freeze, and she

began to cry,

"O lawk! oh mercy on me! this surely can't be I.

"If it be not I, as I suppose it be,

I have a little dog at home, and he knows me;

If it be I, he will wag his little tail, But if it be not I, he'll bark and he'll rail."

Up jump'd the little woman, all in the

dark,

Up jump'd the little dog, and he began to bark;

He began to bark, and she began to cry,

66

'O lawk! oh mercy on me! I see it is not I."

BAT, bat, come under my hat,

And I'll give you a slice of bacon; And when I bake, I'll give you a cake, If I am not mistaken.

LITTLE Miss Muffet,
She sat on a tuffet,
Eating of curds and whey;
There came a great spider,
And sat down beside her,

Which frightened Miss Muffet away.

WA

ARM, hands, warm, daddy's gone to plough;

If you want to warm hands, warm

hands now.
