THERE was an old woman had three cows—
Rosy and Colin and Dun:
Rosy and Colin were sold at the fair,
And Dun broke his head in a fit of despair;
And there was an end of her three cows-—~
Rosy and Colin and Dun.

As titty mouse sat in the witty to spin,
Pussy came to her and bid her good evn.
“Qh, what are you doing, my little oman?”
« A-spinning a doublet for my gudeman.”
“Then shall I come to thee, and wind up thy thread?”
“Oh, no, Mrs. Puss, you'll bite off my head.”

SHOE the colt,
Shoe the colt ;
Shoe the wild mare;
Here a nail,
There a nail,
Yet she goes bare.

LITTLE Robin Redbreast
Sat upon a hurdle,
With a pair of speckled legs,
And a green girdle.
