NURSERY JINGLES
XI.
The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love, and I am thine,
I draw thee for my Valentine.
The lot was cast, and then I drew,
And Fortune said it should be you.
XII.
Robin and Richard were two pretty men,
They lay in bed till the clock struck ten;
Then up starts Robin and looks at the sky,
O brother Richard, the sun is high!
You go before with your bottle and bag,
And I will come after on little Jack Nag.
XIII.
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub.
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker;
Turn 'em out, they're knave's all three.
XIV.
Little Dicky Diller,
Married a wife of siller,
He took a stick and broke her back
And sold her to the miller.
The miller said he wouldn't have her,
So he threw her into the river.
