Chapter CCXXXVI

Old father Graybeard,
Without tooth or tongue;
If you'll give me your finger,
I'll give you my thumb.

CCXXXVII.

Cushy cow bonny, let down thy milk,
And I will give thee a gown of silk;
A gown of silk and a silver tee,
If thou wilt let down thy milk to me.

CCXXXVIII.

[Said to pips placed in the fire; a species of divination
practised by children.]

If you love me, pop and fly;
If you hate me, lay and die.
