Nursery Rhyme. DCXXXVI. Relics.

    If all the seas were one sea,
    What a great sea that would be!
    And if all the trees were one tree,
    What a great tree that would be!
    And if all the axes were one axe,
    What a great axe that would be!
    And if all the men were one man,
    What a great man he would be!
    And if the great man took the great axe,
    And cut down the great tree,
    And let it fall into the great sea,
    What a splish splash that would be!
