THE MAN IN THE MOON.


          The Man in the Moon
            Came tumbling down,
          And asked his way to Norwich;

[Illustration]

            They told him south,
            And he burnt his mouth
          With eating cold pease-porridge.

TO MARKET, TO MARKET.


          To market, to market, to buy a fat Pig;
          Home again, home again, dancing a jig.

THERE WAS A MAN.


          There was a man, and he had nought,
            And robbers came to rob him;

[Illustration]

          He crept up to the chimney-pot,

[Illustration: AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM]

[Illustration: BUT HE GOT DOWN ON T'OTHER SIDE]

[Illustration]

          And then they could not find him;

[Illustration]

          He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
            And never looked behind him.

THE LION AND THE UNICORN.


          The Lion and the Unicorn
            Were fighting for the Crown;
          The Lion beat the Unicorn
            All round about the town.

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

          Some gave them white bread,
            And some gave them brown;
          Some gave them plum-cake,
            And sent them out of town.

LITTLE MISS MUFFET.


[Illustration]

          Little Miss Muffet
            Sat on a tuffet
          Eating of curds and whey;

[Illustration]

            There came a big Spider
            And sat down beside her,
          And frightened Miss Muffet away.

          There I met an old man
            That would not say his prayers:
          I took him by the left leg,
            And threw him downstairs.
