| WHAT God never sees, What the King seldom sees, What we see every day: Read my riddle, I pray. [An Equal] | BURNIE bee, burnie bee, Tell me when your wedding be? If it be to-morrow day, Take your wings and fly away. |
| LAZY Tom, with jacket blue, Stole his father's gouty shoe; The worst of harm we can wish him, Is, his gouty shoe may fit him. | A WATER there is, I must pass, A broader water never was; And yet of all waters I ever did see, To pass over with less jeopardy. [The Dew] |
| DRAW a pail of water |
| For my lady's daughter; |
| My father's a king, and my mother's a queen, |
| My two little sisters are dressed in green, |
| Slumping grass and parsley, |
| Marigold leaves and daisies. |
| One rush! Two rush! |
| Pray thee, fine lady, come under my rush. |
THE old woman must stand at the tub, tub, tub, |
| The dirty clothes to rub, rub, rub; |
| But when they are clean, and fit to be seen, |
| She'll dress like a lady, and dance on the green. |
| GEORGEY Porgey, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry; When the girls come out to play, Georgey Porgey runs away. INTERY, mintery, cutery, corn, Apple seed, and apple thorn; Wine, brier, limber lock, Three geese in a flock, One flew east, one flew west, And one flew over the goose's nest. |
| TIT, tat, toe, My first go, Three jolly butcher boys All in a row; Stick one up, Stick one down, Stick one on the old man's crown. WEE Willie Winkie Runs through the town, Up-stairs and down-stairs, In his night gown; Rapping at the window, Crying at the lock, "Are the children in their beds, For now it's ten o'clock?" |
| Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater, |
| Had a wife and couldn't keep her |
