THREE children sliding on the ice
Upon a summer's day,

As it fell out, they all fell in,
The rest they ran away.

Now had these children been at home,
Or sliding on dry ground,

Ten thousand pounds to one penny,
They had not all been drown'd.

You parents all that children have,
And you that have got none,
If you would have them safe abroad,
Pray, keep them safe at home.

JACK and Jill went up the hill,

To fetch a pail of water;

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

H, dear, what can the matter be!

Two old women got up in an apple-tree;
One came down,

And the other staid up till Saturday.

147.

HAVE you ever heard of Billy Pringle's pig?

It was very little, and not very big;

When it was alive it lived in clover,
But now it is dead, and that's all over.
Billy Pringle he lay down and died;
Betsy Pringle she sat down and cried.

So there's an end of all the three,

Billy Pringle he, Betsy Pringle she, and poor little piggy wigee.

HUMPTY Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not set Humpty Dumpty up again.

[blocks in formation]

Half a yard of cloth will make him coat and

jacket;

Make him coat and jacket,

Breeches to the knee;

And if you will not have him, you may let him be.

[ocr errors]

WILL sing you a song,
Though it is not very long,

Of the woodcock and the sparrow,

Of the little dog that burned his tail,

And the little boy that must be whipp'd to

morrow.

THREE

HREE blind mice,

See, how they run!

They all ran after the farmer's wife,

Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.

Did ever you hear such a thing in your life

As three blind mice?

LITTLE Willie Winkie

runs through the town,

Upstairs and downstairs, in his night-gown,

Rapping at the window,

crying through the lock,

Are the children in their beds? for now it's eight o'clock.

CROSS Patch,

Draw the latch,

Sit by the fire and spin;

Take a cup,

And drink it up,

And call your neighbours in.

154.

GREAT A, little a,

Bouncing B;

The cat's in the cupboard,

And she can't see.

MARY,

ARY, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
Silver bells, and cockle-shells,

And columbines all of a row.

156.

HARK, hark, the dogs do bark,

Beggars are coming to town;

Some in jags, some in rags,

And some in velvet

gowns.

157.

USH-A-BYE a ba-lamb,
Hush-a-bye a milk-cow;

You shall have a little stick

To beat the naughty bow-wow.

DAFFY

AFFY-DOWN-DILLY has come up to town
In a yellow petticoat and a green gown.
