Nursery Rhyme. DCXXVIII. Relics.

    Come, let's to bed,
    Says Sleepy-head;
        Tarry a while, says Slow:
    Put on the pot,
    Says Greedy-gut,
        Let's sup before we go.

Nursery Rhyme. DCXVII. Relics.

    Girls and boys, come out to play,
    The moon doth shine as bright as day;
    Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,
    And come with your playfellows into the street.
    Come with a whoop, come with a call,
    Come with a good will or not at all.
    Up the ladder and down the wall,
    A halfpenny roll will serve us all.
    You find milk, and I'll find flour,
    And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

    And that's the way the row begun.
