Says the great bell at Bow.

Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head.

CCCLIV.
THE FOX.

IN a children’s game, where all the little actors are seated it
a circle, the following stanza is used as question and answer:
Who goes round my house this night ?
None but cruel Tom!
Who steals all the sheep at night?
None but this poor one.
