S John Smith within?
Yes, that he is.
Can he set a shoe?
Ay, marry, two.
Here a nail, there a nail,
Now your horse is shoed.

[Pg 124]

Johnny shall have a new bonnet

OHNNY shall have a new bonnet,
And Johnny shall go to the fair.
And Johnny shall have a blue ribbon
To tie up his bonny brown hair.
And why may not I love Johnny?
And why may not Johnny love me?
And why may not I love Johnny
As well as another body?
And here's a leg for a stocking,
And here is a leg for a shoe,
And he has a kiss for his daddy,
And two for his mammy, I trow.
And why may not I love Johnny?
And why may not Johnny love me?
And why may not I love Johnny,
As well as another body?

[Pg 125]

I Saw a Ship a Sailing

I saw a ship a-sailing.
A-sailing on the sea;
And it was full of pretty things
For baby and for me.
There were comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the hold;
The sails were all of velvet,
And the masts of beaten gold.
The four-and-twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four-and-twenty white mice,
With chains about their necks.
[Pg 126] The captain was a duck,
With a packet on his back;
And when the ship began to move,
The captain said, "Quack! quack!"

Nose, nose
