Nursery Rhyme. DLXIII. Natural History.

    Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree,
    Up went Pussy cat, and down went he;
    Down came Pussy cat, and away Robin ran;
    Says little Robin Redbreast, "Catch me if you can."
    Little Robin Redbreast jump'd upon a wall,
    Pussy cat jump'd after him, and almost got a fall,
    Little Robin chirp'd and sang, and what did Pussy say?
    Pussy cat said "Mew," and Robin jump'd away.

    Cock Robin got up early,
        At the break of day,
    And went to Jenny's window,
        To sing a roundelay.

    He sang Cock Robin's love
        To the pretty Jenny Wren,
    And when he got unto the end,
        Then he began again.
