A FROG HE WOULD A-WOOING GO. 127
“A cold has made me as hoarse as a hog.”
With a rowley powley, &c.
“Since you have caught cold, Mr. Frog,’ Mousey said, —
Heigho, says Rowley,
“T’ll sing you a song that I have just made.”
With a rowley powley, &c.
But while they were all a merry-making,
Heigho, says Rowley,
A cat and her kittens came tumbling in.
With a rowley powley, &c.
The cat she seized the rat by the crown;
Heigho, says Rowley,
The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.
With a rowley powley, &c.
This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright;
Heigho, says Rowley.
He took up his hat, and he wished them good night.
With a rowley powley, &c.
But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,
Heigho, says Rowley,
A lily-white duck came and gobbled him up.
With a rowley powley, &c.
