she came back The dog was spinning. She went to the hosier's To buy him some hose, But when she came back He was dress'd in his clothes. The dame made a curtsey, The dog made a bow; The dame said, "Your servant," The dog said, "Bow, wow." [Illustration: GAMES] [Illustration: There were three jovial Welshmen] THERE were three jovial Welshmen, As I have heard them say, And they would go a-hunting Upon St. David's day. All the day they hunted, And nothing could they find But a ship a-sailing, A-sailing with the wind. One said it was a ship; The other he said nay; The third said it was a house, With the chimney blown away. And all the night they hunted, And nothing could they find But the moon a-gliding, A-gliding with the wind. One said it was the moon; The other he said nay; The third said it was a cheese, And half o't cut away. And all the day they hunted, And nothing could they find But a hedgehog in a bramble-bush, And that they left behind. The first said it was a hedgehog; The second he said nay; The third it was a pin-cushion, And the pins stuck in wrong way. And all the night they hunted, And nothing could they find But a hare in a turnip field, And that they left behind. The first said it was a hare; The second he said nay; The third said it was a calf, And the cow had run away. And all the day they hunted, And nothing could they find But an owl in a holly-tree, And that they left behind. One said it was an owl; The other he said nay; The third said 'twas an old man, And his beard growing grey. [Illustration: Decoration] JACK, be nimble, And, Jack, be quick; And, Jack, jump over The candlestick. [Illustration: Decoration] QUEEN ANNE, Queen Anne, you sit in the sun, As fair as a lily, as white as a wand.
