"Ay, marry, two,
Here a nail, there a nail,
Tick, tack, too."

_Suitors._
WE are three brethren out of Spain,
Come to court your daughter Jane.
_Mother._
My daughter Jane she is too young,
And has not learned her mother-tongue.
_Suitors._
Be she young, or be she old,
For her beauty she must be sold.
So fare you well, my lady gay,
We'll call again another day.
_Mother._
Turn back, turn back, thou scornful knight,
And rub thy spurs till they be bright.
_Suitors._
Of my spurs take you no thought,
For in this town they were not bought;
So fare you well, my lady gay,
We'll call again another day.
_Mother._
Turn back, turn back, thou scornful knight,
And take the fairest in your sight.
_Suitor._
The fairest maid that I can see,
Is pretty Nancy--come to me.
Here comes your daughter safe and sound,
Every pocket with a thousand pound,
Every finger with a gay gold ring.
Please to take your daughter in.

RIDE a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To buy little Johnny a galloping-horse;
It trots behind, and it ambles before,
And Johnny shall ride till he can ride no more.
[Illustration: Decoration]
RIDE a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see what Tommy can buy;
A penny white loaf, a penny white cake,
And a twopenny apple-pie.
