Nursery Rhyme. CCCCXXXII. Jingles.

    Little Dicky Dilver
    Had a wife of silver,
    He took a stick and broke her back,
    And sold her to the miller;
    The miller would'nt have her,
    So he threw her in the river.

    Gilly Silly Jarter,
    Who has lost a garter?
        In a shower of rain,
    The miller found it,
    The miller ground it,
        And the miller gave it to Silly again.

        Hub a dub dub,
        Three men in a tub;
    And who do you think they be?
        The butcher, the baker,
        The candlestick-maker;
    Turn 'em out, knaves all three!

        Little Jack a Dandy
        Wanted sugar-candy,

    A tailor's goose will never fly.

    Little Tee Wee,
    He went to sea
    In an open boat;
    And while afloat
    The little boat bended,
    And my story's ended.
