When she came to the church stile,
There she did rest a little while;
When she came to the churchyard,
There the bells so loud she heard.
When she came to the church door,
She stopt to rest a little more;
When she came the church within,
The parson pray'd 'gainst pride and sin.
On looking up, on looking down,
She saw a dead man on the ground;
And from his nose unto his chin,
The worms crawl'd out, the worms crawl'd in.[E]
Then she unto the parson said,
Shall I be so when I am dead:
O yes! O yes, the parson said,
You will be so when you are dead.
Here the lady screams.
[E] This line has been adopted in the modern ballad of Alonzo and Fair Imogene.
ARITHMETICK.
One, two,
Buckle my shoe;
Three, four,
Lay down lower;
Five, six,
Pick up sticks;
Seven, eight,
Lay them straight;
Nine, ten,
A good fat hen;
Eleven, twelve,
Who will delve?
Thirteen, fourteen,
Maids a-courting;
Fifteen, sixteen,
Maids a-kissing;
Seventeen, eighteen,
Maids a-waiting;
Nineteen, twenty,
My belly's empty.
