Down in a dark dungeon I saw a brave
knight,
All saddled, all bridled, all fit for the fight.
Gilt was his saddle, and bent was his bow;
Thrice I've told you his name, and yet you
 don't know.



Humpty Dumpty sat on a
wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a
great fall;
Not all the King's horses,
nor all the King's men


Could set Humpty
Dumpty up again.

An egg.



[Mind your stops.]
Every lady in this land
Has twenty nails, upon each hand
Five, and twenty on hands and feet.
All this is true without deceit.
