'HERE was a king met a king
In a narrow lane;

Says this king to that king,

"Where have you been?"

"Oh! I've been a hunting

With my dog and my doe." "Pray lend him to me,

That I may do so."

"There's the dog take the dog." "What's the dog's name?"

"I've told you already."

"Pray tell me again."

N marble walls as white as milk,

IN

Lined with a skin as soft as silk; Within a fountain crystal clear,

A golden apple doth appear.

No doors there are to this stronghold.

Yet things break in and steal the gold.

[An egg.

LOUR of England, fruit of Spain,

FLO

Met together in a shower of rain;

Put in a bag tied round with a string,

If you'll tell me this riddle, I'll give you a ring.

[A plum-pudding.

HAVE a little sister, they call her Peep, Peep;
She wades the waters deep, deep, deep;

She climbs the mountains high, high, high;
Poor little creature she has but one eye.

[A star.

IGGLEDY piggledy
Here we lie,

Pick'd and pluck'd,
And put in a pie.

My first is snapping, snarling, growling,
My second's industrious, romping, and prowling.
Higgledy piggledy

Here we lie,

Pick'd and pluck'd,

And put in a pie.

[Currants.

UMPTY DUMPTY sate on a wall;

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;

Three score men and three score more

Cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.

TH

Now they tramp, now they champ, now they

stand still.

[Teeth and gums.
