GAMES. 247

Children say,
If this young man should happen to die,
And leave this-poor woman a widow,
The bells shall all ring, and the birds shall all sing,
And we'll all clap hands together.

So it is repeated until the whole are taken.

CCCCXVI.
[Children hunting bats. ]
BAT, bat, (clap hands),
Come under my hat,
And I’ll give you a slice of bacon ;
And when I bake,
I'll give you a cake,
If I am not mistaken,

CCCCXVII.
SEE-SAW sacradown,
Which is the way to London town?
One foot up and the other down,
And that is the way to London town.

CCCCXVIII.

HERE stands a post:
Who put it there?
A better man than you;
Touch it if you dare!
