THE
THREE JOVIAL HUNTSMEN.

The
THREE JOVIAL HUNTSMEN.
IT'S of three jovial huntsmen, an' a hunting they did go;
An' they hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' they blew their horns also
Look ye there!
[4]
[5]An' one said, "Mind yo'r e'en, an' keep yo'r noses reet i' th' wind
An' then, by scent or seet, we'll leet o' summat to our mind."
Look ye there!
[6]
[7]
They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the first thing they did find
Was a tatter't boggart, in a field, an' that they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a boggart, an' another he said "Nay;
It's just a ge'man-farmer, that has gone an' lost his way."
Look ye there!
[8]
[9]
[10]
[11]
They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find
Was a gruntin', grindin' grindlestone, an' that they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a grindlestone, another he said "Nay;
It's nought but an' owd fossil cheese, that somebody's roll't away."
Look ye there!
[12]
[13]
[14]
[15]
They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find
Was a bull-calf in a pin-fold, an' that, too, they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a bull-calf, an' another he said "Nay;
It's just a painted jackass, that has never larnt to bray."
Look ye there!
[16]
[17]
[18]
They hunted, an they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find
Was a two-three children leaving school, an' these they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said that they were children, but another he said "Nay;
They're no' but little angels, so we'll leave 'em to their play."
Look ye there!
[19]
[20]
[21]
[22]
They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find
Was a fat pig smiling in a ditch, an' that, too, they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said it was a fat pig, but another he said "Nay;
It's just a Lunnon Alderman, whose clothes are stole away."
Look ye there!
[23]
[24]
[25]
[26]
They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find
Was two young lovers in a lane, an' these they left behind.
Look ye there!
One said that they were lovers, but another he said "Nay;
They're two poor wanderin' lunatics—come, let us go away."
Look ye there!
[27]
[28]
[29]
[30]
So they hunted, and they hollo'd, till the setting of the sun;
An' they'd nought to bring away at last, when th' huntin'-day was done.
Look ye there!
Then one unto the other said, "This huntin' doesn't pay;
But we'n powler't up an' down a bit, an' had a rattlin' day."
Look ye there!

SING a Song for Sixpence,
[4]
A Pocketful
[5]
of Rye;
[6]
[7]
Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds
[8]
Baked
[9]
in a Pie.
[10]
[11]
When the Pie was opened,
[12]The Birds began to sing;
Was not that
[13]
a dainty Dish
[14]
[15]
[16]To set before the King?
The King was in
[17]
his Counting-house,
[18]
Counting out his Money.
[19]
[20]
The Queen was in
[21]
the Parlour,
[22]
Eating Bread and Honey.
[23]
[24]
The Maid was in
[25]
the Garden,
[26]
Hanging out the Clothes;
[27]
[28]
There came a little Blackbird,
[29]
And snapped off her Nose
[30]
But there came a Jenny Wren
and popped it on again.

The Queen of Hearts.
THE Queen of Hearts,
She made some Tarts,
[4]
[5]

All on a Summer's Day:
[8]
[9]
[10]
[11]
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole those Tarts,
[12]
[13]
[14]
[15]
And took them right away.
[16]
[17]
[18]
The King of Hearts,
Called for those Tarts,
[19]
[20]
[21]
[22]
And beat the Knave full sore:
[23]
[24]
[25]
[26]
The Knave of Hearts,
Brought back those Tarts,
[27]
[28]
[29]
[30]
And vowed he'd steal no more
