 LI.

Hark! hark! the dogs do bark, The beggars are coming to town, Some in jags, and some in rags, And others in velvet gowns.

LII.

I had a little husband no bigger than my thumb, I put him in a pint-pot and told him there to drum. I bought a little horse that galloped up and down, I bridled him and saddled him, and sent him out of town. I gave him yellow garters to garter up his hose, And little silken handkerchief for the wiping of his nose.

LIII.

There were two blackbirds sat on a hill, One named Jack, and the other named Jill. Fly away, Jack! fly away, Jill! Come back, Jack! come back, Jill!

LIV.

The rose is red, the violet's blue, The violet's sweet, and so are you; These the words you bade me say, For a pair of gloves on Easter day.
