me after time, until the expectant little one asks, what
next? Then comes the climax.]

The king of France, the king of France, with forty thousand men,
Oh, they all went up the hill, and so--came back again!

At the siege of Belle-isle
I was there all the while,
All the while, all the while,

[The tune to the following may be found in the 'English
Dancing Master,' 1631, p. 37.]

The rose is red, the grass is green,
Serve Queen Bess our noble queen;

And eat the leg of a frog;
All good people

And see the cat play with the dog.

Their peaceable noddies,
And give them a crack of the crown!

Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

England,' book iii, chap. 1.]

See saw, sack-a-day;
Monmouth is a pretie boy,
Richmond is another,
Grafton is my onely joy,
And why should I these three destroy,
To please a pious brother!

XVII.

Over the water, and over the lee,
And over the water to Charley.
Charley loves good ale and wine,
And Charley loves good brandy,
And Charley loves a pretty girl,
As sweet as sugar-candy.

Over the water, and over the sea,
And over the water to Charley,
I'll have none of your nasty beef,
Nor I'll have none of your barley;
But I'll have some of your very best flour;
To make a wh
