NURSERY JINGLES

XV.

A cow and a calf,
An ox and a half,
Forty shillings good and three.
Is that not a tocher
For a shoemaker's daughter,
A bonny lass with a bright black e'e?


XVI.

Little Jack Jingle,
He used to live single.
But when he got tired of this kind of life,
He left off being single and lived with his wife.


XVII.

Bah! bah! Black Sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, marry, have I
Three bags full.
There's one for my master,
And one for my dame,
But none for the naughty boy
Who cries in the lane.


XVIII.

Pat-a-cake! Pat-a-cake! Baker's man;
Pat it and bake it as fast as you can.
Prick it and prick it, and mark it with C,
And that will do purely for Charlie and me.
