MOTHER GOOSE'S MELODIES.                                43
DID you not hear of Betty Pringle's pig ? It was not very little nor yet very big; The pig sat down upon a dung-hill, And there poor piggy he made his will.
Betty Pringle came to see this pretty pig That was not very little nor yet very big; This little piggy it lay down and died, And Betty Pringle sat down and cried.
Then Johnny Fringle buried this very pretty pig, That was not very little nor yet very big. So here's an end of the song of all three, Johnny Pringle, Betty Pringle, and little Piggy.
THE Quaker's wife got up to bake,
Her children all about her, She gave them every one a cake,
And the miller wants his moulter.
