 Collectanea. 359

Except. . . and she is the youngest one.

She can kick and she can fling,

And she can turn the sofa.

O fie, fie for shame,

Turn your back to the walls again !

We are two lovers come from Spain,

All in French garlands. We've come to court your daughter Jane,

So adieu to you, my darlings.

My daughter Jane, she is so young,

All in French garlands, She cannot bear your flattermg tongue,

So adieu to you, my darlings.

If this young man should chance to die,

And leave his wife a widow, The bells shall ring, and the church shall sing.

And we'll all clap hands together.

So a-doaving, a-doaving,

A-doaving by the hand, We'll take this pretty fair maid,

We'll take her by the hand.

Counting out Rhymes.

Eetam, peetam, ])enny pie, Papa-lorrie, jinky-jye,

Stan' ye oot-bye

For the bonnie penny pie.

Eenerie, twa-erie, tuckerie, taiven, Alamacrackerie ten or elaiven, Peen Jean, muskey dan, Teedlum, Fodlum, twenty-wan.
