THE FROG WHO WOULD A-WOOING GO.

"Pray, Mrs. Mouse, are you

within ?"

Heigho says Rowley,

"Yes, kind sir, I am sitting to spin."

With a rowley powley, &c.

"Pray, Mrs. Mouse, will you give us some beer?"

Heigho says Rowley,

"For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer."

With a rowley powley, &c.

Now while they were all a merry-making,

Heigho says Rowley,

The cat and her kittens came tumbling in;

With a rowley powley, &c.

The cat she seized the rat by the crown,

Heigho says Rowley,

The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.

With a rowley powley, &c.

This put poor Frog in a terrible fright,

Heigho says Rowley,

So he took up his hat, and he wish'd them good night;

With a rowley powley, &c.

THE FROG WHO WOULD A-WOOING GO.

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,

Heigho says Rowley,

A lily-white duck came and gobbled him up.

With a rowley powley, &c.

So there was an end of one, two, and three,

Heigho says Rowley,

The rat, the mouse, and the little Frog-gee!

With a rowley powley gammon and spinach,
Heigho says Anthony Rowley.
