 So Doll and the cow danced "the Cheshire round," Till the pail was broke, and the milk on the ground.

He met old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs, He used his pipe and she used her legs; She danced about till the eggs were all broke, She began for to fret, but he laughed at the joke.

He saw a cross fellow was beating an ass, Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes and glass; He took out his pipe and played them a tune, And the jackass's load was lightened full soon.
