Croak! said the Toad, I'm hungry, I think, To-day I've had nothing to eat or to drink, I'll crawl to a garden and jump through the pales, And there I'll dine nicely on slugs and on snails; Ho, ho! quoth the Frog, is that what you mean? Then I'll hop away to the next meadow stream, There I will drink, and eat worms and slugs too, And then I shall have a good dinner like you.

Gray goose and gander, Waft your wings together, And carry the good king's daughter Over the one strand river.

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been? I've been up to London to look at the queen. Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, what did you there? I frighten'd a little mouse under the chair.

I had a little dog, and they called him Buff; I sent him to the shop for a hap'orth of snuff; But he lost the bag, and spill'd the snuff, So take that cuff, and that's enough.

All of a row, Bend the bow, Shot at a pigeon, And killed a crow.

The cock doth crow, To let you know, If you be wise, 'Tis time to rise.
