and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper,
Went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

Jill came in and she did grin,
To see his paper plaster,
Mother vexed, did whip her next,
For causing Jack's disaster.

Little John Jig Jag,
Rode on a penny nag,
And went to Wigan to woo;
When he came to a beck
He fell and broke his neck,
Johnny, how dost thou now?

Little General Monk
Sat upon a trunk,
Eating a crust of bread;
There fell a hot coal,
And burnt in his clothes a hole,
Now little General Monk is dead.

SALISBURY CATHEDRAL

As many days as in one year there be,
So many windows in this church you see.
As many marble pillars here appear,
As there are hours through the fleeting year.
As many gates as moons one here does view,
Strange tale to tell, but not more strange than true.

KENT

God made man, and man made money.
God made the bees, and the bees made honey.
God made the cooks, and the cooks made pies.
God made a little boy, and he told lies.
God made the world, as round as a ball,
In jumps Satan, and spoils it all.
God made Satan, and Satan made sin,
God made a little hole to put Satan in.

Essex stiles,
Kentish miles,
Norfolk wiles,
Many men beguiles.

SOMERSET

My grandmother had a three-cornered country-cut handkerchief,
Cut in a three-cornered country-cut way,
If my grandmother had a three-cornered country-cut handkerchief,
Cut in a three-cornered country-cut way,
Why shouldn't I have a three-cornered country-cut handkerchief,
Cut in a three-cornered country-cut way?

LEICESTER

My father died a month ago,
And left me all his riches;
A feather bed, a wooden leg,
And a pair of leather breeches.
A coffee pot without a spout,
A cup without a handle,
A 'bacco box without a lid,
And half a farthing candle.

ESSEX

Here's good health
And a little wealth,
And a little house
And freedom,
And at the end
A little friend,
And little cause
To need 'im.

Get up at four, and you'll have more.
Get up at five, and things'll thrive.
Get up at six, and things'll fix.
Get up at seven, and things'll go even.
Get up at eight, and that's too late.
Get up at
