 LXV. GIRLS AND BOYS COME OUT TO PLAY

Girls and boys come out to play, The moon doth shine as bright as day; Leave your supper and leave your sleep, And come to your playfellows in the street. Come with a whoop, and come with a call, Come with a good will or not at all. Up the ladder and down the wall, A penny loaf it will serve us all. You find milk, and I'll find flour, And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

LXVI. MRS. BOND

'Oh, what have you got for dinner, Mrs. Bond?' 'There's beef in the larder, and ducks in the pond;' 'Dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, come to be killed, For you must be stuffed and my customers filled!'

'John Ostler, go fetch me a duckling or two, John Ostler, go fetch me a duckling or two, Cry, dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly,' etc.
