Heigho, says Rowley,
The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee!
With a rowley powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!

[Song of a little boy while passing his hour of solitude in a corn-field.]
AWAY, birds, away !
Take a little, and leave a little,
And do not come again ;
For if you do,
I will shoot you through,
And there is an end of you.
