A BOOK OF NURSERY RHYMES
How could there be a goose without a
bone?
How could there be a cherry without a
stone?
Petrum, &c.
How could there be a Bible no man could
read?
How could there be a blanket without a
thread?
Petrum, &c.
When the goose is in the egg-shell, there
is no bone;
When the cherry is in the blossom, there is
no stone.
Petrum, &c.
When the Bible is in the press, no man it
can read;
When the wool is on the sheep's back, there
is no thread.
Petrum, &c.
