She put out her horns like a little Kyloe cow; Run, tailors, run, or she'll kill you all e'en now. C ROAK!" said the Toad, "I'm hungry, I think; To-day I've had nothing to eat or to drink; I'll crawl to a garden and jump through the pales, And there I'll dine nicely on slugs and on snails." "Ho, ho!" quoth the Frog, "is that what you mean? Then I'll hop away to the next meadow stream; There I will drink, and eat worms and slugs too, And then I shall have a good dinner like you." 'HERE was a piper, he'd a cow, ΤΗ And he'd no hay to give her; He took his pipes and played a tune : "Consider, old cow, consider!" The cow considered very well, For she gave the piper a penny, That he might play the tune again, Of "Corn rigs are bonnie." ETTY PRINGLE had a little pig, Not very little and not very big; When he was alive he lived in clover; But now he's dead, and that's all over. So Billy Pringle he laid down and cried, And Betty Pringle she laid down and died; So there was an end of one, two, and three: Billy Pringle he, Betty Pringle she, And the piggy wiggy. A LONG-TAIL'D pig, or a short-tail'd pig, Or a pig without e'er a tail, A sow-pig, or a boar-pig, Or a pig with a curly tail. |
