NURSERY RHYMES.

S .Sing a song of sixpence,

S. A pocket full of rye ;Four-a nd-twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie;

S;When the pie was open'djI The birds began to sing;

SWas not that a dainty dishTo set before the king?

"The king was in his counting-house

Counting out his money;The queen was in the parlour

Eating bread and honey;

The maid was in the gardenThe Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, Hanging out the clothes,

All on a summer's day; There came a little blackbird,The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And snapt off her nose.

And took them clean away.

The King of Hearts, called for those tarts,And beat the Knave full sore;

The Knave of Hearts brought back thosetarts,

And vowed he'd steal no more.

Old king Cole was a merry old soul,And a merry old soul was he;

. He called for his pipe,And he called for his bowl,And he called for his fiddlers three.

3 Each fiddler had a very fine fiddle,SA very fine fiddle had he.

.......... . Oh, there's none so rare as can compareWith king Cole and his fiddlers three.
