Chapter CLXXII

[The original of the following is to be found in
'Deuteromelia, or the second part of Musicks Melodie,' 4to,
Lond. 1609, where the music is also given.]

Three blind mice, see how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with the carving-knife,
Did you ever see such fools in your life?
Three blind mice.
