Nursery Rhyme. DXIII. Natural History.

    Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?
    I've been up to London to look at the queen.
    Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, what did you there?
    I frighten'd a little mouse under the chair.

        How can she be fair?

    Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree,
    Up went Pussy cat, and down went he;

    Little Robin chirp'd and sang, and what did Pussy say?
    Pussy cat said "Mew," and Robin jump'd away.
