Polly Hopkins.

RETTY little Polly Hopkins, how d’ye do? how d’ye do ?’
‘None the better, Mr. Tomkins, for seeing of you, for seeing of you!’
‘Oh, don’t I love you, Polly Hopkins! I’m fond and true, I’m fond and true!’
‘What's that to me now, Mr. Tomkins, if you do, if you do ?’
‘But I would wed you, Polly Hopkins—none but you, none but you !’
‘Then I must take you, Mr. Tomkins—'tis your due, ’tis your due!’

Ba-a, ba-a, Black Sheep.

A-A, ba-a, black sheep, have you any wool ?’
‘Yes, pretty maiden, three bags full :
One for my master, one for my dame,
And one for the little boy that lives in our lane.’
‘T love you, little ba-a lamb, but you must know, of course,
I like you best when nicely dressed and served up with mint sauce.’

Needles and Pins.

EEDLES and pins! needles and pins!
When a man’s married his trouble begins.
Bobbins and tapes! bobbins and tapes !
Whilst he keeps single he trouble escapes.
(But how about the cold winter nights, and how about his buttons ?)

Who comes here ?

HO comes here ?
Your granny, dear,
With apples, pears, and a cake.
She is welcome to-day
As the flowers in May,
For her gifts and her own dear sake.
