"Cripple Dick upon a stick,
Sand your soo, ride away
To Galloway
To buy a pound o' woo."


"Pan, pan, play,
Pan, pan, play,
And gi'e the bairn meal,
It's gotten nane the day."


"The robin and the wren
Are God's cock and hen."


"Gi'e a thing, tak' a thing,
Auld man's deid ring;
Lie butt, lie ben,
Lie amang the dead men."

The above is said by Scotch children as a reproach to one who takes back what he gave.

A GRUESOME RIDDLE.
