If you love me, pop and fly;

If you hate me, lay and die.

[The following, with a very slight variation, is found in Ben Jonson's 'Masque of Queen's,' and it is singular to account for its introduction into the modern nursery.]

I went to the toad that lies under the wall,

I charmed him out, and he came at my call;

I scratch'd out the eyes of the owl before,

I tore the bat's wing, what would you have more.

CCXL.
