XII.

But off I ran,
And in a bag,
Of old and new,
I got a rag:

XIII.

And I did say:
"Let me, I beg,
Tie the old rag
On the bad leg."

XIV.

My old pet cat
So sad did lie,
And I did say:
"Oh! she may die!"

XV.

Her eye was out,
And all the day
Up in my lap
My cat did lay.

XVI.

She had a nap,
She had a sup,
And, by and by,
She did get up.
