Nursery Rhyme. CX. Scholastic.

    A diller, a dollar,
    A ten o'clock scholar,
    What makes you come so soon?
    You used to come at ten o'clock,
    But now you come at noon.

    And drop one a coming.

    Cuckoo, Cuckoo,
    What do you do?
    In April
    I open my bill;
    In May
    I sing night and day;
    In June
    I change my tune;
    In July
    Away I fly;
    In August
    Away I must.

Nursery Rhyme. DCXVII. Relics.

    Girls and boys, come out to play,
    The moon doth shine as bright as day;
    Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,
    And come with your playfellows into the street.
    Come with a whoop, come with a call,
    Come with a good will or not at all.
    Up the ladder and down the wall,
    A halfpenny roll will serve us all.
    You find milk, and I'll find flour,
    And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

        Sneel, snaul,
    Robbers are coming to pull down your wall;
        Sneel, snaul,
        Put out your horn,
    Robbers are coming to steal your corn,
    Coming at four o'clock in the morn.

        Cross patch,
        Draw the latch,
    Sit by the fire and spin;
        Take a cup,
        And drink it up,
    Then call your neighbours in.
