LITTLE BO-PEEP'S DISCOVERY.

It happen'd one day, as Bo-peep did stray

Under a meadow hard by :

There she espy'd their tails, side by side,

All hung on a tree to dry.

LITTLE BO-PEEP'S REMEDY.

She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye,

And over the hillocks went race-o;

And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,

To tack again each to its place-o.

ONE fine summer morning a Hen was picking peas in a farm-yard under a pea-stack, when a pea fell on her head such a thump that she thought the sky was falling. And she thought she would go to the court and tell the king that the sky was falling: so she gaed, and she gaed, and she gaed, and she met a Cock.

And the Cock said,

"Where are you going to-day, Henny-penny?"

And she said,

"Oh, Cocky-locky, the sky is falling, and I am going to tell the king."

And Cocky-locky said,—

"I will go with you, Henny-penny."

So Cocky-locky and Henny-penny, they gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they met a Duck. So the Duck said,-

"Where are you going to-day, Cocky-locky and Henny-penny?"

And they said,

"Oh, Ducky-daddles, the sky is falling, and we are going to tell the king."

And Ducky-daddles said,—

"I will go with you, Cocky-locky and Hennypenny."

So Ducky-daddles, and Cocky-locky, and Hennypenny, they gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they met a Goose.
