CHILD STORIES AND PLAY
139
So Doll and the cow danced "the Cheshire
round,"
Till the pail was broke, and the milk on
the ground.
He met old Dame Trot with a basket of
eggs,
He used his pipe and she used her legs;
She danced about till the eggs were all
broke,
She began for to fret, but he laughed at
the joke.
He saw a cross fellow was beating an ass,
Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes and
glass;
He took out his pipe and played them a
tune,
And the jackass's load was lightened full
soon.
For every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none.
If there be one, try and find it;
If there be none, never mind it.
