LITTLE boy blue, come blow your horn;
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep?
He's under the hay-cock, fast a-sleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I;
For if I do, he'll be sure to cry.

SEE saw, Margery Daw,
Jenny shall have a new master;
She shall have but a penny a-day,
Because she can't work any faster.

HERE stands a post,—
Who put it there?
A better man than you:
Touch it if you dare?

A DUCK and a drake,
And a halfpenny cake,
With a penny to pay the old baker.
A hop and a scotch
Is another notch,
Slitherum, slatherum, take her.

I'LL tell you a story,
About John-a-Nory:
And now my story's begun.
I'll tell you another,
About Jack and his brother,
And now my story's done.

TOSS up my darling, toss him up high,
Don't let his head, though, hit the blue sky.

TRIP and go, heave and ho!
Up and down, to and fro;
From the town to the grove,
Two and two, let us rove,
A-maying, a-playing;
Love hath no gainsaying!
So merrily trip and go!
So merrily trip and go!

GREAT A, little A,
This is pancake day;
Toss the ball high,
Throw the ball low,
Those that come after
May sing Heigh-ho!

SING, sing!—What shall I sing?
The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string!

JACK Sprat
Had a cat,
It had but one ear;
It went to buy butter
When butter was dear.

MARGARET wrote a letter,
Sealed it with her finger,
Threw it in the dam
For the dusty miller.

Dusty was his coat,
Dusty was the siller,
Dusty was the kiss
I'd from the dusty miller.

If I had my pockets
Full of gold and siller,
I would give it all
To my dusty miller.

POLLY, Dolly, Kate and Molly,
All are filled with pride and folly.
Polly tattles,
Dolly wriggles,
Katy rattles,
Molly giggles;
Whoe'er knew such constant rattling,
Wriggling, giggling, noise, and tattling

WHEN I was taken from the fair body,
They then cut off my head,
And thus my shape was altered.
It's I that make peace between King and ring,
And many a true lover glad.
All this I do, and ten times more,
And more I could do still;
But nothing can I do
Without my guider's will.

POLLY put the kettle on,
Susy took it off;
Aunt Jemima's little girl
Has got the whooping cough.
PHOEBE rode a nanny goat,
Susy broke her leg,
Father took his wedding coat
And hung it on a peg.
