one and warming his fine wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.

2. When merry milkmaids click the latch,
And rarely smells the new-mown hay,
And the cock beneath the thatch,
Thrice has sung his roundelay,
Thrice has sung his roundelay.
Alone and warming his fine wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.

Transcriber's Notes:

The July edition of the Nursery had a table of contents for the next six
issues of the year. This table was divided to cover each specific issue.
A title page copied from this same July edition was also used for this
number and the issue number added after the Volume number.

Page 114, "go" changed to "got" (After we had got)

Page 128, period changed to a comma on chorus of song (his fine wits,)
