Upon my word and honour.

    A long-tail'd pig, or a short-tail'd pig,
    Or a pig without e'er a tail,
    A sow-pig, or a boar-pig,
    Or a pig with a curly tail.

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

    The pig flew up in the air;

    Leg over leg,
        As the dog went to Dover;
    When he came to a stile,
        Jump he went over.

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.

    Little Robin Red-breast
        Sat upon a rail:
    Niddle naddle went his head,
        Wiggle waggle went his tail.
