 " Oh, where are you going, 
 My pretty maiden fair, 
 
 With your red, rosy cheeks, 
 And your coal-black hair V 
 
 " I 'm going to the lake, 
 Gentle sir/' she said, 
 
 ** To fill the jar with water, 
 That rests upon my head,'* 
 
10 SIMPLE RHYMES 
 
 THE PARADOX. 
 
 Three children sliding on the 
 ice, 
 
 Upon a summer's day, 
 As it fell out, they all fell in, 
 The rest they ran away. 
 
 Now, had these children been 
 
 at home, 
 Or sliding on dry ground, 
 Ten thousand dollars to one 
 
 penny 
 
 They had not all been 
 drowned. 
 
 You parents all that children 
 have, 
 
 And you that have got none, 
 IT you would have them safe 
 abroad, 
 Pray keep them safe at home. 
 
12 SIMPLE RHYMES, 
 
 They that wash on Monday, 
 
 Have all the week to dry ; 
 They that wash on Tuesday 
 
 Are not so much awry ; 
 They that wash on Wednesday 
 
 Are not so much to blame ; 
 They that wash on Thursday, 
 
 Wash for very shame ; 
 They that wash on Friday, 
 
 Wash what most they need ; 
 But they that wash on Saturday, 
 
 Oh, tliey 're sluts indeed ! 
 
SIMPLE RHYMES* IS 
 
 Simple Simon met a, pieman 
 
 Going to the fair ; 
 Says Simple Simon to the pie 
 man, 
 
 "Let me taste your ware." 
 
 Says the pieman to Simple Si- 
 mon, 
 
 "Show me first your penny." 
 Says Simple Simon to the pie- 
 man, 
 
 " Indeed I have not any." 
 
 Simple Simon went to town, 
 To buy a piece of meat ; 
 
 He tied it to his horse's tail, 
 To keep it clean and sweet. 
 
 Simple Simon went to look 
 If plums grew on a thistle ; 
 
 He pricked his fingers very 
 much, [whistle. 
 Which made poor Simon 
 
I saw a ship a-sailing, 
 
 A-sailing on the sea ; 
 And oh, it was all laden 
 
 With pretty things for thee ! 
 
 There were comforts in the 
 cabin, 
 
 And apples in the hold ; 
 The sails were made of silk, 
 Anr] the masts of finest gold: 
 
SIMPLE RHYMES. 15 
 
 The four-and-twenty sailors, 
 
 That stood between the decks, 
 Were four-and-twenty white 
 mice, 
 
 With chains about their necks. 
 
 The captain was a duck, 
 
 With a packet on his back ; 
 And when the ship began to 
 move, 
 
 The captain said, " Quack, 
 quack !" 
 
16 SIMPLE RHYMES. 
 
 Sing a song of sixpence, 
 
 A bag full of rye ; 
 Four-and-twenty blackbirds 
 
 Baked in a pie. 
 
 When the pie was opened, 
 The birds began to sing : 
 
 Was not that a dainty dish 
 To set before the king ? 
 
 The king was with his bankei , 
 Counting out his money ; 
 
 The queen was in the parlor, 
 Eating bread and honey. 
 
 The maid was in the garden, 
 Hanging out the clothes ; 
 
 There came a little blackbird 
 And snapt off her nose. 
 
 fenny was so mad, 
 
 She didn't know what to do ; 
 She put her finger in her ear, 
 
 And cracked it right in two.
