The above is the most popular version, and the one indigenous to the place; but there is another set, which was introduced some few years ago by a late schoolmistress, who was a native of another part of the county, where her version was customary:

"Shrove-tide is nigh at hand,

And we are come a-shroving;

Pray, Dame, give something,

An apple, or a dumpling,

Or a piece of crumple cheese,

Of your own making;

Or a piece of pancake.

Trip, trapping, throw;

Give me my mumps, and I'll be go."
