Ring a ting ting,

God save the King.

LITTLE General Monk

Sat upon a trunk,
Eating a crust of bread,

There fell a hot coal

And burnt in his clothes a hole,
Now General Monk is dead.

Keep always from the fire:

If it catch your attire,
You too, like Monk, will be dead.

When niver a man was slain;

And sae com merrily heaam agayn.
