O, what a pretty little book
So full of pictures too;
I should like through it to look.
I'll buy it--wouldn't you?

[Illustration - Dog]
Bow, wow, wow,
Whose dog art thou?
Little Tom Tinker's dog--
Whose dog art thou?
* * * * *
Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl;
And if the bowl had been stronger,
My song had been longer.
[Illustration - Beggers face to face]
Hark! hark! the dogs do bark,
The beggars have come to town;
Some in rags, and some in tags,
And some in velvet gowns.
* * * * *
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig, and away he run;
The pig was eat,
And Tom was beat,
And Tom ran crying down the street.
[Illustration - Horse]
I had a little hobby horse,
And it was dapple gray;
His head was made of oat-straw,
His tail was made of clay.
He could amble, he could trot,
He could carry a mustard-pot
Through the town of Woodstock,
Hey, boys, hey!
* * * * *
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again, April day;
Little Johnny wants to play
In the meadow on the hay.
[Illustration - Cock]
The little black dog ran round the house,
And set the bull a roaring,
And drove the monkey to the boat,
Who set the oars a rowing,
And scar'd the cock upon the rock,
Who cracked his throat with crowing.
[Illustration - Bell]
Ding dong bell, the cat's in the well.
Who put her in? Little Johnny Green.
Who pulled her out? Great Jack Stout.
What a naughty boy was that,
To drown poor pussy cat,
Who never did him any harm,
And killed the mice in his father's barn.
[Illustration - Boy with Book]
Little lad, little lad,
Where were you born?
Far off in Lancaster, under a thorn.
I'm the stoutest boy you ever did see,
I can carry a pocket-book bigger than me.
* * * * *
How many miles to Babylon?
Threescore miles and ten.
Can I get there by candle-light?
Yes, and back again.
