LittleJack Horner sat in the comer,

Eating a Christmas pic ;

He put in his thumb, andpulled out aplum,

And said, oh ! what a good boy am I.

There zvas an old womanLived tender a hill

;

And if she's not gomy

She lives there still.

ICO

Diddlty, diddlty, dumpty,

The cat rati up the plum tree ,

Give her a plum, and down she'll cow ,

Diddlty, diddlty. dumpty

WJre alljolly boys, and we're coming

with a noise,

Our stockings shall be made

Of thefinest silk,

And our tails shall trail the ground.

To market, to market, to buy a plum cake,

Home again, home again, market is late ;

To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,

Home again, home again, market is done.

K.»

Elsie Marley has grown so fine,

She won'I get up to serve the swine

But lies in bed till eight or nine.

And swely she does take her time.

Daffy'-down-dilly has come up to town,

In a yellow petticoat and a green gown.

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.

His wife could eat no lean ;

And so between them both,

They licked the platter clean.

Lucy Locket, lost her pocket,

Kitty Fisherfound it ;

Inhere was not a penny in it,

But a ribbon round it.

LK<L

Cross Patch. lift the latch,

Sit by thefire and spin ;

Take a ctip, and drink it up,

Then callyour neighbours in.

Johnny shall have a nezv bonnet,

AndJohnny shall go to thefair ;

AndJohnny shall have a blue ribbon,

To tie up his bonny brown hair.

RJB

There was a little boy and a little girlLived in an alley ;

Says the little boy to the little girl,

"Shall f, oh, shall I?"Says the little girl to the little boy,'

' What shall we do '("

Says the little boy to tht little girl," 1 will kiss you 1'"

JL2-

Draw a pail of water*

J-'or my lady's daughter :

Myfather's a king, and my mother s a queen,

My two little sisters are dressed in green,

Stamping grass andparsley,

Marigold leaves and daisies.

One rush ! two rush !

Pray thee, fine lady, come under my bush.

Jack andJillWent up the hill,

Tofetch a pail of water ;

Jackfell downAnd broke his crown,

AndJill came tumbling after,

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,

And can't tell where tofind them ;

Leave them alone, and they'll come home,

And bring their tails behind thein.

Polly put the kettle on,

Polly put the kettle on,

Polly put the kettle on,

We'll all have tea.

Stikey take it off again,

Sukey take it off again,

Sukey take it off again,

They''re all gone away.

Little Tommy Tittlemouse,

Lived in a little house ;

He caught fishes

Ln other men's ditches.

Tell Tale Tit,

Your tongue shall be slit

;

And all the dogs in the town

Shall have a little bit.

K.O

Goosey, goosey, gander,

Where shall I wander ?

Up stairs, down stairs,

And in my lady's chamber :

Thei-e I met an old man,

Who ivould not say his prayer,

l^ake him by the left leg,

7'hrow him down the stairs.

KG

Willy boy, Willy boy, where are you going?

I will go with you, if I may.

Pm going to the meadow to see them a

mowing,

Pm going to help them make the hay.

1 .. ..

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow ?

With silverMils, and cockle shells.

And cowslips all of a row.

3°

>

Bonny lass, pretty lass, wilt thou be mine ?

Thou shalt not wash dishes,

Nor yet serve the swine ;

Thou shalt sit on ti cushion, and sew a

fine seam,

And thou shalt eat stiawberries, sugar,

and cream J

A dillar, a dollar,

A ten o'clock scholar ;

What makes you come so soon ?

You used to come at ten o"1

clocks

But now you come at noon !

Little Betty Blue,

Lost her holiday shoe.

What willpoor Betty do ?

Why, give her another,

To match the other,

And then she will walk in two.

K.O

33

Billy boy blue, come blow me your horn,

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's

in the com ;

Is that the way you mindyour sheep,

Under the haycockfast asleep !

KtSL.

34

Girls and boys come out to play,

The moon it shines as bright as day ;

Leave your stepper, and leave your sleep,

And come to your playmates in the street

;

Come with a whoop, come with a call,

Come with a good will, or come not at all

;

Up the ladder and down the zuall,

A halfpenny loaf will serve us all.

35

Here am /, little jumpingJoan,When nobody 's with me,

Pm always alone.

Mother 's a queen.

And Beltyi's a lady,

And wears a gold ring ;

AndJohnny 's a drummer,

And drumsfor the king.

Little Tom Tucker,

He sangfor his supper.

What did he singfor ?

Why, white bread and butter.

How can I cut it without a knife ?

How can I marry %vithout a wife f

From a rani's horn.

All around the green gravel,

The grass grows so green,

And all the pretty maids areJit to be seen

Wash them in milk,

Dress them in silk,

And thefirst to go down shall be married.

One foot tip, the otherfoot down,

That's the way to London town.
