There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
Who had so many children she didnt know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread,
And whipt them all soundly and sent them to bed.
Calceus inclusit vetulam turbamque suorum,
Multum quæ luctans natos compescuit arctos;
Jus illis profert oblita apponere panem,
Verberibusque datis dormitum sæva remittit.
Vetula Calceocola.
Jacob Bigelow
