 Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep, 
 And cannot tell where to find 'em ; 
 
 Leave them alone, and they'll come homo, 
 And bring their tails behind 'em. 
 
 Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep. 
 
 And dreamt she heard them bleatino-; 
 When she awoke, she found it a joke, 
 
 For still they all were fleeting. 
 
\ 
 
 LITTLE BO-PEEP. 
 
 Then up she took her little crook, 
 
 Determin'd for to find them ; 
 She found thera indeed, but it made her heart bleed, 
 
 For they'd left their tails behind them. 
 
 It happen'd one day, as Bo-peep did stray 
 
 Unto a meadow hard by ; 
 There she espied their tails side by side, 
 
 All huEg on a tree to dry. 
 
 She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye, 
 
 And over the hillocks she raced; 
 And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should, 
 
 That each tail should be properly placed.

 There was an old woman, as I've heard tell, 
 She went to the market her eggs for to sell, 
 She went to the market, all on a market day, 
 And she fell asleep on the king's highway. ' 
 
THE OLD WOMAN AND HER EGGS.

 There came a little pedlar^ his name it was Stout, 
 He cut off her petticoats all round about; 
 He cut off her petticoats up to her knees, 
 Until her poor knees began for to freeze. 
 
 When the little old woman began to awake, 
 She began to shiver, and she began to shake; 
 Her knees began to freeze, and she began to cry, 
 ^^ Oh lawk ! oh mercy on me ! this surely can't be I. 
 
 " If it be not I, as I suppose it be, 
 
 I have a little dog at home, and he knows me ; 
 
 If it be I, he will wag his little tail, 
 
 But if It be not I, he'll bark and he'll rail."

 The dog began to bark, and she began to cry, 
 '' lawk ! oh mercy on me ! I see it is not I."

 Old Mother Goose, when 
 She "wanted to wander, 
 
 "Would ride through the air 
 On a very fine gander 
 
 ^ 
 
OLD MOTIiER GOOSE. 
 
 Mother Goose had a house, 
 *Twas built in a wood, 
 
 Where an owl at the door 
 For sentinel stood. 
 
 This is her son Jack, 
 A plain-looking lad, 
 
 He is not very good, 
 Nor yet very bad. 
 
 She sent him to market, 
 A live goose he bought; 
 
 *^ Here, mother,'' says he, 
 " It will not go for nought.' 
 
OLD MOTHER GOOSE. 
 
 Jack's goose and her gandei 
 
 Grew very fond, 
 They'd both eat together, 
 
 Or swim in one pond. 
 
 Jack found one morning 
 As I have been told, 
 
 His goose had laid him 
 An egg of pure gold. 
 
 Jack rode to his mother, 
 The news for to tell; 
 
 She caird him a good boy, 
 And said it was well. 
 
OLD MOTHER GOOSS, 
 
 J^« 
 
 Jack sold his gold egg 
 To a rogue of a Jew, 
 
 Wlio cheated him out of 
 The half of his due. 
 
 Then Jack went a-courtin^ 
 
 A ladj so gay, 
 As fair as the lily 
 
 And sweet as the May. 
 
 The Jew and the Squire 
 Came close at his back, 
 
 And "began to belabour 
 The sides of poor Jack. 
 
OLD MOTHER GOOSK 
 
 They threw the gold egg 
 In the midst of the sea; 
 
 But Jack he jump'd in, 
 And got it back presently. 
 
 The Jew got the goose, 
 
 Which he vow'd he would kill, 
 Resolving at once 
 
 His pockets to fill. 
 
 Jack's mother came in, 
 
 And caught the goose soon, 
 
 And, mounting its back. 
 Flew up to the pioon.
