NURSERV RHYMES.

 

 

Eis an egg
In a basket with more,
Which Peggy will sell
For a shilling a score.

F' was a fox,
So cunning and sly:

Who looks at the hen-roost—
I need not say way.

G was a greyhound,
As fleet as the wind;
In the race or the course
Left all others behind.

Ei was a heron,

Who lived near a pond;
Of gobbling the fishes

He was wondrously fond.

I was the ice

On which Billy would skate;
So up went his heels,

And down went his pate.

J was Joe Jenkins,
Who played on the fiddle;
