NATURAL HISTORY. DLXXXV. CoME hither, sweet Robin, And be not afraid, I would not hurt even a feather ; Come hither, sweet Robin, And pick up some bread, To feed you this very cold wea- ther. I don’t mean to frighten you, Poor little thing, And pussy-cat is not behind me; ¢ So hop about pretty, i And drop down your wing, And pick up some crumbs, And don’t mind me. DLXXXVI. PIT, pat, well-a-day! Little Robin flew away ; Where can little Robin be ? Gone into the cherry-tree. DLXXXVII. LITTLE Robin Redbreast Sat upon a rail: Niddle naddle went his head, Wiggle waggle went his tail. 341
