NURSERY DITTIES.


[Illustration]

    Sing a Song of Sixpence, a pocket full of rye,
    Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie;
    When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing:
    Was not that a dainty dish to set before a King?

    The King was in the counting-house, counting out his money;
    The Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey;
    The Maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,
    By came a blackbird, and snapped off her nose.


[Illustration]

         Hark, hark,
         The dogs do bark,
    The beggars are coming to town;
         Some in jags,
         Some in rags,
    And some in velvet gown.


[Illustration]

    The Queen of Hearts
    She made some tarts
      All on a summer's day;
    The Knave of Hearts
    He stole those tarts,
      And took them clean away.

    The King of Hearts
    Call'd for the tarts,
      And beat the Knave full sore;
    The Knave of Hearts
    Brought back the tarts,
      And vow'd he'd steal no more.



[Illustration]

    Ride a cock-horse
    To Banbury Cross,
    To see a fine lady
    Upon a white horse.
    Rings on her fingers,
    Bells on her toes,
    She shall have music
    Wherever she goes.


[Illustration]

    See-saw, Margery Daw,
    Jenny shall have a new master;
    She shall have but a penny a day,
    Because she can't work any faster.



[Illustration]

    Little Tom Tucker
    Sings for his supper:
    What shall he eat?
    White bread and butter.

    How shall he cut it
    Without e'er a knife?
    How can he marry
    Without e'er a wife?
