NURSERY RHYMES.

 

CCCVIII.
TEN and ten and twice eleven,
Take out six and put in seven;
Go to the green and fetch eighteen,
And drop one a-coming.

AS soft as sillk, as white as milk,
As bitter as gall, a thick wail,
And a green coat covers me all.

With all his sinews round his neck;
Forty doctors and forty wrights
Couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty to rights!
An egg.
