CCCCLVI.

WE'RE all in the dumps,

For diamonds are trumps;

The kittens are gone to St. Paul's!
The babies are bit,

The moon's in a fit,

And the houses are built without walls.

CCCCLVII.

RAIN, rain, go away,
Come again another day;
Little Arthur wants to play.

CCCCLVIII.

WHAT'S the news of the day,
Good neighbour, I pray ?
They say the balloon

Is gone up to the moon.

CCCCLIX.

[See a similar one to this at p. 193.]

LITTLE Mary Ester,

Sat upon a tester,

Eating of curds and whey;

There came a little spider,

And sat him down beside her,

And frightened Mary Ester away.

CCCCLX.

LEG over leg,

As the dog went to Dover;
When he came to a stile,
Jump he went over.

CCCCLXI.

A LITTLE old man and I fell out;
How shall we bring this matter about?
Bring it about as well as you can,
Get you gone, you little old man!

CCCCLXII.

LITTLE girl, little girl, where have you been? Gathering roses to give to the queen.

Little girl, little girl, what gave she you? She gave me a diamond as big as my shoe.

CCCCLXIV.

CHARLEY wag,

Eat the pudding and left the bag.

CCCCLXV.

[See part of No. 193.]

HINK, minx! the old witch winks,
The fat begins to fry:

There's nobody at home but jumping Joan,
Father, mother, and I.

CCCCLXVI.

GIRLS and boys, come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day;
Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows into the street.
Come with a whoop, come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A halfpenny roll will serve us all.
You find milk, and I'll find flour,
And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

CCCCLXVII.

Ir a body meet a body,

In a field of fitches;
Can a body tell a body

Where a body itches?

CCCCLXVIII.

LITTLE boy blue, come blow up your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the

corn;

Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep?
He's under the haycock fast asleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I;
For if I do, he'll be sure to cry.

Here sit his two men
