Nursery Rhyme. DLXXVI. Natural History.

    I'll away yhame,
    And tell my dame,
    That all my geese
    Are gane but yane;
            And it's a steg ( gander),
            And it's lost a leg;
    And it'll be gane
    By I get yhame.

Nursery Rhyme. DXII. Natural History.

    Gray goose and gander,
        Waft your wings together,
    And carry the good king's daughter
        Over the one strand river.

Nursery Rhyme. DXC. Natural History.

        Goosey, goosey, gander,
        Where shall I wander?
    Up stairs, down stairs,
        And in my lady's chamber;
    There I met an old man
        That would not say his prayers;
    I took him by the left leg,
        And threw him down stairs.

Nursery Rhyme. DLXVI. Natural History.

    I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen,
    She washed me the dishes, and kept the house clean:
    She went to the mill to fetch me some flour;
    She brought it home in less than an hour;
    She baked me my bread, she brew'd me my ale,
    She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale.

    See, saw, Margery Daw,
    The old hen flew over the malt house,
    She counted her chickens one by one,
    Still she missed the little white one,
    And this is it, this is it, this is it.

    I had two pigeons bright and gay,
    They flew from me the other day;
    What was the reason they did go?
    I cannot tell for I do not know.

    Higglepy Piggleby,
        My black hen,
    She lays eggs
        For gentlemen;
    Sometimes nine,
        And sometimes ten,
    Higglepy Piggleby,
        My black hen!
