NURSERY JINGLES

XIX.

Cross patch, draw the latch,
Sit by the fire and spin.
Take a cup, and drink it up,
Then call your neighbours in.


XX.

As Tommy Snooks and Bessie Brooks
Were walking out one Sunday,
Says Tommy Snooks to Bessie Brooks,
'To-morrow will be Monday.'


XXI.

I'll tell you a story
Of Jack-a-Nory.
And now my story's begun,
I'll tell you another
About Jack's brother,
And now my story is done.


XXII.

Up the hill and down the vale,
Butter is made in every dale.
And if it be that Nancy Crook,
She can churn and she can cook,
Then she shall butter make anon
Before her grandmother is an old man.
