Nursery Rhyme. DCXXIII. Relics.

    Charley wag,
    Eat the pudding and left the bag.

    Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town,
    In a yellow petticoat, and a green gown.

    Rain, rain, go away,
    Come again another day;
    Little Arthur wants to play.

        We're all in the dumps,
        For diamonds are trumps;
    The kittens are gone to St. Paul's!
        The babies are bit,
        The moon's in a fit,
    And the houses are built without walls.

            Hark, hark,
            The dogs do bark,
    Beggars are coming to town;
            Some in jags,
            Some in rags,
    And some in velvet gowns.

    As I went over the water,
        The water went over me,
    I heard an old woman crying,
        Will you buy some furmity?
