188 MOTHER GOOSE’S NURSERY RHAYMES.
Pease pudding hot,
Péase pudding cold,
Pease pudding in the pot,
Nine days old.
Curly-locks, Curly-locks, wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash the dishes, nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion, and sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries, sugar, and cream.
Margery Mutton-pie, and Johnny Bo-peep,

In and out, in and out, over the way,
Oh! says Johnny, "tis Chop-nose Day.
There was a Rat, for want of stairs,
Went down a rope to say his prayers.
