	MOTHER GOOSE'S MELODIES.
	S ING 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; And wasn't this a dainty dish To set before the king ? H E that would thrive must rise at five; He that hath thriven may lie till seven; A.nd he that by the plough would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive. A S I was going to sell my eggs, I met a man with bandy legs, Bandy legs and crooked toes, [ tripped up his heels and he fell on his nose.
