At the siege of Belleisle.

Two little dogs
Sat by the fire,
Over a fender of coal-dust;
Said one little dog
To the other little dog,
If you don't talk, why, I must.

"Come, let's to bed,"
Says Sleepy-head;
"Tarry a while," says Slow.

"Put on the pot,"
Says the Greedy one,
"Let's sup before we go."

Up at Piccadilly, oh!
The coachman takes his stand,
And when he meets a pretty girl
He takes her by the hand;
Whip away forever, oh!
Drive away so clever, oh!
All the way to Bristol, oh!
He drives her four-in-hand.

Dickery, dickery, dock;
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck One,
The mouse ran down,
Dickery, dickery, dock.

Up hill and down dale;
Butter is made in every vale;
And if that Nancy Cook
Is a good girl,
She shall have a spouse,
And make butter anon,
Before her old grandmother
Grows a young man.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
I caught a hare alive
6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

And waited patiently about till Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so," the eager children cry,
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know!" the teacher did reply.

Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her,
She'll do me no harm;

The calf, the goose, the bee,
The world is ruled by these three.

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 the king?

The king was in his counting-house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
Down came a blackbird,
And pecked off her nose.

Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl;
If the bowl had been
