Nursery Rhyme. DCXX. Relics.

    Little girl, little girl, where have you been?
    Gathering roses to give to the queen.
    Little girl, little girl, what gave she you?
    She gave me a diamond as big as my shoe.

Nursery Rhyme. DCXXII. Relics.

        We're all in the dumps,
        For diamonds are trumps;
    The kittens are gone to St. Paul's!

Nursery Rhyme. DCXXXVII. Relics.

        I had a little moppet,
        I put it in my pocket,
    And fed it with corn and hay;
        Then came a proud beggar,
        And swore he would have her,
    And stole little moppet away.
