CCO reek! tobacco reek! When you're well, 'twill make you sick. Tobacco reek! tobacco reek! 'Twill make you well when you are sick. [Illustration: Decoration] THERE was an old woman, and what do you think? She lived upon nothing but victuals and drink: Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet; This tiresome old woman could never be quiet. [_Mind your punctuation._] I SAW a peacock with a fiery tail, I saw a blazing comet drop down hail, I saw a cloud wrapped with ivy round, I saw an oak creep upon the ground, I saw a pismire swallow up a whale, I saw the sea brimful of ale, I saw a Venice glass full fifteen feet deep, I saw a well full of men's tears that weep, I saw red eyes all of a flaming fire, I saw a house bigger than the moon and higher, I saw the sun at twelve o'clock at night, I saw the man that saw this wondrous sight.

[3] The pod or shell of a pea. [Illustration: CHARMS & LULLABIES] [Illustration: Cushy cow bonny, let down thy milk] CUSHY cow bonny, let down thy milk, And I will give thee a gown of silk; A gown of silk and a silver tee, If thou wilt let down thy milk to me. If you love me, pop and fly; If you hate me, lie and die. [_Said to pips placed in the fire; a species of divination practised by children._ [Illustration: Decoration] PETER PIPER picked a peck
