Nursery Rhyme. DXXX. Natural History.

    Hie hie, says Anthony,
    Puss in the pantry
    Gnawing, gnawing
    A mutton mutton-bone;
    See now she tumbles it,
    See now she mumbles it,
    See how she tosses
    The mutton mutton-bone.

    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.

        Pussy cat Mole,
        Jump'd over a coal,
        And in her best petticoat burnt a great hole.
    Poor pussy's weeping, she'll have no more milk,
    Until her best petticoat's mended with silk.

        Father and mother are dead:
    Brother and sister are in the back yard,
        Begging for barley bread.
