        Cross patch,
        Draw the latch,
    Sit by the fire and spin;
        Take a cup,
        And drink it up,
    Then call your neighbours in.

    Mistress Mary, quite contrary,
        How does your garden grow?
    With cockle-shells, and silver bells,
        And mussels all a row.

    LEGOMOTON,
    Acapon,
    Alfagheuse,
    Pasti venison.

    When I was a little boy, I had but little wit
    It is some time ago, and I've no more yet;
    Nor ever ever shall, until that I die,
    For the longer I live, the more fool am I.

    Birch and green holly, boys,
        Birch and green holly.
    If you get beaten, boys,
        'Twill be your own folly.

    Speak when you're spoken to,
        Come when one call;
    Shut the door after you,
        And turn to the wall!
