the cow's in the corn.
Where is the little boy tending the sheep?
Under the haycock fast asleep!

Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pull'd out a plum,
And said "What a good boy am I!"

Little Jack Jingle,
He used to live single:
But when he got tired of this kind of life,
He left off being single and lived with his wife.

Little Jenny Wren fell sick upon a time,
When in came Robin Redbreast and brought her sops and wine,
"Eat, Jenny, drink, Jenny, all shall be thine!"
"Thank you, Robin, kindly, you shall be mine."
Then Jenny Wren got better, and stood upon her feet,
And said to Robin Redbreast, "I love thee not a bit."
Then Robin he was angry, and flew upon a pole,
"Hoot upon thee! fie upon thee! ungrateful soul."

Little Miss Muffet
She sat on a tuffet,
Eating of curds and whey;
There came a little spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Little Nan Etticoat
In a white petticoat
And a red nose,
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.

Little Robin Red-breast sat upon a tree,
Up went Pussy-cat, and down went he;
Down came Pussy-cat, and away Robin ran:
Says little Robin Red-breast, "Catch me if you can."
Little Robin Red-breast jumped upon a wall,
Pussy-cat jumped after him, and almost got a fall.
Little Robin chirped and sang, and what did Pussy say?
Pussy-cat said "Mew," and Robin hopp'd away.

Little Robin Red-breast
Sat upon a rail,
Niddle noddle went his head,
Wiggle waggle went his tail.

Little Tom Tucker,
Sings for his supper:
What shall he eat?
White bread and butter.
How shall he cut it,
Without e'er a knife?
How will he be married
Without e'er a wife?

Mary, Mary,
Quite contrary,
How does your garden grow!
Silver bells,
And cockle-shells,
And pretty maids all of a row.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
Guard the bed that I lay on!
Four corners to my bed,
Four angels round my head!
One to watch, one to pray,
And two to bear my soul away!

AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK
HE WAS READING THE NEWS.]

Old mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To give her poor dog a bone,
But when she came there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

She went to the baker's
To buy him s
