The Wedding of Jenny Wren

AYS Robin to Jenny, "If you will be mine,

SA

We'll have cherry tart, and drink currant wine."

So Jenny consented the day was nam'd,

The joyful news the cock proclaim'd.

Together came the Rook and Lark,
One was the parson, the other clerk:
The Goldfinch gave the bride away,
Who promised always to obey.

The feathered tenants of the air,
Towards the feast gave each a share;
Some brought grain, and some brought meat,
Some brought savours, some brought sweet;

And as it was most pleasant weather,
The jovial party dined together,
And long did Robin and his mate,
Live in the happy married state.

Till, doleful to relate! one day
A Hawk with Jenny flew away,
And Robin, by the cruel sparrow,

Was shot quite dead with bow and arrow.

UB a dub dub,

Hub a Dub Dub

Three men in a tub;

The butcher, the baker,

The candlestick-maker

They all fell out of a rotten potato

ITTLE Jack-a-Dandy,

Loved plum cake and sugar-candy,

He bought some at a grocer's shop,
And out he came, hop, hop, hop.

ING, dong, bell,

Puss's in the well!

Who put her in,

Little Tommy Lin:

Who pulled her out,

Dog with a long snout;
What a trick was that,
To drown my granny's cat,

Who never did any harm,

But catch the mice in the barn.
