THE FROG WOULD A-WOOING GO 'Indeed, Mistress Mouse,' replied Mr. Frog, Heigho, says Rowley, 'A cold has made me as hoarse as a dog.' With a rowley powley, etc.

'Since you have caught cold, Mr. Frog,' Mousey said, Heigho, says Rowley, 'I'll sing you a song that I have just made.' With a rowley powley, etc.

But while they were all a merry-making, Heigho, says Rowley, A cat and her kittens came tumbling in. With a rowley powley, etc.

The cat she seized the rat by the crown; Heigho, says Rowley, The kittens they pulled the little mouse down. With a rowley powley, etc.

This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright; Heigho, says Rowley, He took up his hat, and wished them goodnight. With a rowley powley, etc.

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook, Heigho, says Rowley, A lily-white duck came and gobbled him up, With a rowley powley, etc.
