LITTLE Miss, pretty Miss

Blessings rest upon you; If I had half-a-crown a day I'd spend it all upon you.

ITTLE Miss Muffett,

She sat on a tuffet, Eating of curds and whey ;

There came a great spider,

Who sat down beside her, And frighten’d Miss Muffet

THE

HE man in the wilderness asked me,

How many strawberries grew in the sea ?
I answerd him, as I thought good,
As many as red herrings grew in the wood.

THERE

THERE was an old woman went up in a

blanket,
Ninety-nine times as high as the moon :
But where she was going nobody could tell,

For under her arm she carried a broom.

Old woman, old woman, old woman, said I,

Whither, O whither, whither so high? 0, I’m sweeping the cobwebs off the sky,

And I'll come down to you bye and bye.

two, buckle my shoe ;

Three, four, open the door ; Five, six, pick up sticks; Seven, eight, lay them straight; Nine, ten, a good fat hen; Eleven, twelve, I hope you 're well; Thirteen, fourteen, draw the curtain ; Fifteen, sixteen, the maid's in the kitchen; Seventeen, eighteen, she's in waiting ; Nineteen, twenty, my plate is empty ; Please, mamma, to give me some dinner.
