Chapter DLIX

A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree, (_tris_)
And he cherruped, he cherruped so merry was he; (_tris_)
A little cock-sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he cherruped, he cherruped so merry was he.

A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow, (_tris_)
Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow, (_tris_)
A naughty, &c.
Determined, &c.

This little cock sparrow shall make me a stew, (_tris_)
And his giblets shall make me a little pie too, (_tris_)
Oh, no! said ye sparrow I won't make a stew,
So he flapped his wings and away he flew!
