| A LONG-TAILED pig, or a short-tailed pig, |
| Or a pig without e'er a tail, |
| A sow-pig, or a boar-pig, |
| Or a pig with a curly tail. |
| MORAL: Take hold of his tail, And eat off his head, And then you will be sure The pig-hog is dead. |

| WHEN I was a bachelor, I lived by myself, |
| And all the bread and cheese I got I put upon a shelf; |
| The rats and the mice did lead me such a life, |
| That I went to market, to get myself a wife. |
The streets were so broad, and the lanes were so narrow, |
| I could not get my wife home without a wheel-barrow: |
| The wheel-barrow broke, my wife got a fall, |
| Down tumbled wheel-barrow, little wife, and all. |
| MORAL: |
| Provide against the world, and hope for the best. |
| LITTLE Tommy Tucker, Sings for his supper; What shall he eat? White bread and butter. How shall he cut it Without e'er a knife? How will he be married Without e'er a wife? TELL-tale tit! Your tongue shall be slit, And all the dogs in the town Shall have a little bit. |
| LITTLE Jack Horner |
| Sat in a corner, |
| Eating a Christmas pie; |
| He put in his thumb, |
| And pulled out a plum, |
| And said, "What a good boy am I!" |
HEIGH, diddle, diddle, |
| The cat and the fiddle, |
| The cow jumped over the moon; |
| The little dog laughed |
| To see such sport, |
| And the dish ran away with the spoon. |
| ROBIN and Richard were two pretty men; |
| They lay in bed till the clock struck ten; |
| Then up starts Robin, and looks in the sky, |
| Oh! brother Richard, the sun's very high! |
