Tommy TROT, a man of law,

Sold his bed and lay upon straw,—
Sold the straw and slept on grass,
To buy his wife a looking-glass.

DCCXXXVIIL.
WE’RE all dry with drinking on’t,
We’re all dry with drinking on’t;
The piper spoke to the fiddler’s wife,
And I can’t sleep for thinking on’t.

DCCXXXIX.

Jack in the pulpit, out and in,
Sold his wife for a minikin pin.

DCCXL.
DID you see my wife, did you see, did you see,
Did you see my wife looking for me?
She wears a straw bonnet with white ribbon on it,
And dimity petticoats over her knee.

DCCXLI.
ROSEMARY green,
And lavender blue,
Thyme and sweet marjoram,
Hyssop and rue.
