Nursery Rhyme. DCXIX. Relics.

    How many days has my baby to play?
        Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
    Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
        Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

    As I went over the water,
        The water went over me,
    I heard an old woman crying,
        Will you buy some furmity?

    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.

    Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town,
    In a yellow petticoat, and a green gown.

    My little old man and I fell out,
    I'll tell you what 'twas all about:
    I had money, and he had none,
    And that's the way the row begun.

    Charley wag,
    Eat the pudding and left the bag.
