's not very long."
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,_
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!

"Indeed, Miss MOUSE," replied Mr FROG,
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
"A cold has made me as hoarse as a Hog."
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
"Since you have caught cold," Miss MOUSEY said.
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
"I'll sing you a song that I have just made."
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
But while they were all thus a merry-making,
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
A Cat and her Kittens came tumbling in.
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
The Cat she seized the Rat by the crown;
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
The Kittens they pulled the little Mouse down.
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
This put Mr. FROG in a terrible fright;
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
He took up his hat, and he wished them good night.
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
But as Froggy was crossing a silvery brook,
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
A lily-white Duck came and gobbled him up.
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
So there was an end of one, two, and three,
_Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!
The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee!
_With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_,
_Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
