DCIX.

COCK crows in the morn,
To tell us to rise,

And he who lies late
Will never be wise:

Por early to bed,
And early to rise,

Es the way to be healthy
And wealthy and wise.

DCX.
PUSSY-CAT ate the dumplings, the dumplings,
Pussy-cat ate the dumplings.
Mamma stood by,
And cried, Oh, fie!
Why did you eat the dumplings?

DCXI.
BETTY PRINGLE had a little pig,
Not very little and not very big,
When he was alive he lived in clover,
But now he’s dead, and that’s all over.
So Billy Pringle he laid down and cried,
And Betty Pringle she laid down and died;
So there was an end of one, two, and three:
Billy Pringle he,
Betty Pringle she,
And the piggy wiggy.
