PARADOXES. 277

 

CCCCLXI.

THERE was a man of Newington,
And he was wondrous wise,

He jumped into a quickset hedge,
And scratched out both his eyes;

But when he saw his eyes were
out,
With all his might and main
Fle jumped into another hedge
And scratched ’em in again.

CCCCLXII.

IF all the world was apple pie,
And all the sea was ink,

 

 

 

 

 

 

And all the trees were bread = ea Se
and cheese,
What should we have for
drink?

CCCCLXITI.

THERE was a little Guinea-pig,
Who, being little, was not big ;
He always walked upon his teet,
And never fasted when he eat.

When from a place he ran away,
He never at that place did stay;
