Since this little work was first projected, and partly executed, several collections of a similar kind have appeared; and it is possible that had any of these been of such a description as mate- rially to interfere with its plan, the intention of bringing it out might have been abandoned. So far, however, as the character of the recent col- lections of Nursery Rhymes as illustrated works is concerned, the merits of the present volume, whatever they may be in that respect, have not been anticipated ; and as it was conceived that, with regard to the Rhymes themselves, something yet remained to be accomplished in the way of judicious selection as well as of emendation, the ground seemed to be still so far unoccupied as at least to justify the pretensions of the present com- pilation to be regarded as a novelty, and as hav- ing claims which were not possessed by previous publications of a like kind. It may be added, be- iw570880 sides, that the delay which, owing to unforeseen circumstances, has occurred in the preparation of the work, has tended to give it the advantage of now having, to a great extent, an open field to itself. It is hoped, therefore, that this addition to the stock of our nursery-literature will not be deemed an unnecessary or undesirable one. The care bestowed on the compilation of the | volume has, in particular, had reference to the exclusion of such Rhymes as, morally speaking, are of questionable tendency ; and this with the view of giving to the collection that merely play- || ful, droll, and innocent character which, consider- | [r ing its purpose, it undoubtedly ought to possess. i| coyoK 51. 54. 6. 5. 88. 87. 79. 40. 53.

A S I was going to Derby all on a market-day, I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon hay ; Upon hay, upon hay, upon hay ; I met the finest ram, sir, that ever was fed upon hay. This ram was fat behind, sir ; this ram was fat before ; This ram was ten yards round, sir ; indeed he was no more ; No more, no more, no more ; This ram was ten yards round, sir ; indeed he was no more. The horns that grew on his head, sir, they were so wondrous high, As I 've been plainly told, sir, they reach'd up to the sky ; The sky, the sky, the sky ; As I 've been plainly told, sir, they reach'd up to the sky. The tail that grew on his back, sir, was six yards and an ell ; And it was sent to Derby to toll the market-bell ; The bell, the bell, the bell ; And it was sent to Derby to toll the market-bell. :S^^^^^5^2^ 6. A LL of a row, Bend the bow, Shot at a pigeon, And kiird a crow. 7, n^HERE was an owl lived in a tree, Wisky, wasky, weedle ; And all the words he ever spoke. Were fiddle, faddle, feedle. A gunner chanced to come that way, Wisky, wasky, weedle ; Said he, I '11 shoot you, silly bird. With your fiddle, faddle, feedle. ^^^^^^. :'^^" 8. COME hither, sweet Robin, and be not afraid, I would not hurt even a feather ; Come hither, sweet Robin, and pick up pi some bread, jj To feed you this very cold weather. J I don't mean to frighten you, poor httle thing, \ And pussy-cat is not behind me ; j So hop about pretty, and drop down your < wing. And pick up some crumbs, and don't mind me. But now the wind blows, and I must not stay long, I shall let all the snow and the sleet in ; So remember next summer to give me a song. To pay for the breakfast you're eating. I don't mean to frighten you, poor little thing. And pussy-cat is not behind me ; So hop about pretty, and drop down your wing. And pick up some crumbs, and don't mind me. 'n 9. rpWINKLE, twinkle, little star ; -^ How I wonder what you are ! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon. Then you show your little hght, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Then the traveller in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark : He could not see which way to go. If you did not twinkle so. In the dark blue sk>' you keep. And often through my curtains peep ; For you never shut your eye. Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveller in the dark. Though I know not what you are. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. I \r^ I CC30. T ITTLE Nell Etticoat, -^ In a white petticoat. And with a red nose ; The longer she stands The shorter she grows. 13.

"\TTHEN a twister twisting would twist him a twist, ^ ' For twisting a twist three twists he will twist ; But if one of the twists untwists from the twist. The twist untwisting imtwists the twist. TT7HEN Arthur first in court began ^ ^ To wear long hanging sleeves. He entertain'd three serv ing-men ; And all of them were thieves. The first he was an Irishman, The second was a Scot ; The third he was a Welshman ; And all were knaves, I wot. The Irishman loved usquebaugh, The Scot loved ale calPd bluecap, The Welshman he loved toasted cheese, And made his mouth like a mouse-trap. Usquebaugh burnt the Irishman ; The Scot was drow^n'd in ale ; The Welshman had like to be choked by a mouse. But he puU'd it out by the tail. /^OCK crows in the morn, ^ To tell us to rise, And he who lies late Will never be wise : For early to bed. And early to rise.

For I wish him a very good-bye ' ^^- 'J AF all the birds that ever I see, ^ The owl is the fairest in her degree : For all the day long she sits in a tree, And when the night comes, away flies she ! Te whit, te whow ! Sir knave to thou ! This song is well sung, I make you a vow, And he is a knave that drinketh now. Ki:;^-'^ T AZY sheep, pra,y tell me why -^ In the pleasant fields you lie, Eating grass and daisies white. From the morning until night ? Every thing can something do, But what kind of use are you ? Nay, my little master, nay. Do not serve me so, I pray : Don't you see the wool that grows On my back, to make you clothes ? ^Cold, yes, very cold, you'd be. If you had no w^ool from me. Then the farmer comes at last, When the merry spring is past. And cuts my woolly coat away, To warm you in the winter's day : Little master, this is why In the pleasant fields I lie. n lli p tta^meai^mmai^mnaiVmfSi^mtet^m jLmat^ mia^mtai^mKgsi^mHei^Kfeitwia^ 23.

Robin knows great A, And B, and C, and D, and E, F, G, H, I, J, K. Come hither, pretty cockatoo, Come and learn your letters ; And you shall have a knife and fork To eat with, like your betters.

He ask'd for some fruit. For some fruit did he ask ? Can he yet read his book? He can't read it yet. Then he shan't have a bit : But pray give him a bite When he says his task right ; And till that is well done, Take you care he has none. 20. T ITTLE Jenny Wren -^ Fell sick upon a time ; In came Robin Redbreast, And brought her cake and wine. Eat of my cake, Jenny, And drink of my wine ; Thank you, Robin, kindly, You shall be mine.

The rats and the mice They made such a strife, I was forced to go to London-town To buy me a wife. The streets were so broad. And the lanes were so narrow, I was forced to bring my wife home In a wheel-barrow. The wheel-barrow broke. And my wife had a fall ; Down came wheel-barrow. Wife and all. Now the spring is coming on, Now the snow and ice are gone, Come, my Uttle snowdrop root. Will you not begin to shoot ? Ah !
