Was called to bed,
He always acted right;
He kissed Mamma,
And then Papa,
And wished them all good-night.
He made no noise,
Like naughty boys
But gently upstairs
Directly went,
When he was sent,
And always said his prayers.

[Pg 115]

Sing a Song of Sixpence

ING a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Was not that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

[Pg 116]

The king was in his counting-house
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey;
