The Oxonian in Thelemarken, volume 2 (of 2) / or, Notes of travel in south-western Norway in the summers of 1856 and 1857. With glances at the legendary lore of that district.

by Frederick Metcalfe

Row, row to Engeland,

To buy my babe a pearlen-band,

New breeches and new shoes,

So to its mother baby goes.

This sounds like our—

“To market, to market, to buy a plum-bun.”

Another, the first lines of which remind one of our—

Rockabye, babye, thy cradle is green,

Father’s a nobleman, mother’s a queen.
