CLX.

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.

CLXI.

See, saw, Margery Daw,

Little Jackey shall have a new master; Little Jackey shall have but a penny a day, Because he can't work any faster.

CLXII.

See, Saw, Margery Daw,

Sold her bed and lay upon straw;
Was not she a dirty slut,

To sell her bed and lie in the dirt?

CLXIII.

[See Jamieson's "Glossary," voc. zickety, and Blackwood's "Edinburgh Magazine," Aug. 1821, p. 36.]

Zickety, dickety, dock,

The mouse ran up the nock;
The nock struck one,

Down the mouse run,

Zickety, dickety, dock.

CLXIV.

Ding, dong, darrow,

The cat and the sparrow;

The little dog has burnt his tail,

And he shall be hang'd to-morrow.

CLXV.

Pussicat, wussicat, with a white foot,
When is your wedding, for I'll come to't.
The beer's to brew, the bread's to bake,
Pussy cat, pussy cat, don't be too late

CLXVI.

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, dancing a jig;
Ride to the market to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

CLXVII.

Leg over leg,

As the dog went to Dover;
When he came to a stile,

Jump he went over.
