Nursery Rhyme. CCCCIII. Lullabies.

    Rock well my cradle,
        And "bee baa," my son;
    You shall have a new gown,
        When ye lord comes home.

    Oh! still my child, Orange,
        Still him with a bell;
    I can't still him, ladie,
        Till you come down yoursell!

    My dear cockadoodle, my jewel, my joy,

    Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green;
    Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen;
    And Betty's a lady, and wears a gold ring;
    And Johnny's a drummer, and drums for the king.

Nursery Rhyme. CCCXCIV. Lullabies.

    Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top,
    When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
    When the bough bends, the cradle will fall,
    Down will come baby, bough, cradle, and all.

    Hush thee, my babby,
    Lie still with thy daddy,
        Thy mammy has gone to the mill,

    Bye, baby bunting,
    Daddy's gone a hunting,

    To wrap a baby bunting in.
