Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells
And cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row

Mary had a little lamb.
It’s fleece was white as snow.

Five, six, seven, eight,
Eating cherries off a plate.

Margaret wrote a letter,
Sealed it with her finger,
Threw it in the dam
For the dusty miller.
“Dusty was his coat,
Dusty was his collar,
Dusty was the kiss
I had from the miller.
If I had my pockets
Full of gold and siller,
I would give it all
To my dusty miller.”

March winds and April showers,
Brings forth May flowers.

And burnt his mouth
With supping cold pease-pudding.

There’s a lot of drums and Noah’s arks,
And clothes for dolls which hav’nt any,

And tops a few, and soldiers many,
I wish I’d a penny in my [...]

In the moor lay,
Seven nights full and a day.
Good was her meat.
What was her meat?
The cowslip and the—
The cowslip and the—
Good was her meat.
What was her meat?
The cowslip and the violet
Good was her drink.
What was her drink?
The cold water of [...]

One for sorrow.
Two for joy.
Three for a girl.
Four for a boy.
Five for silver.
Six for gold.
Seven for a secret never to be told.
Eight’s a wish.
Nine’s a kiss.
Ten is a bird you must not miss,
MAGPIE.

My little sweet darling, my comfort and joy,
Sing lullaby, lully;
In beauty excelling the princess of Troy;
Now, suck, child, and sleep,
child, thy mother’s sweet boy,
The gods bless and keep thee from cruel annoy;
Sweet baby, sing lullaby, lully.
With lullay, lullay, like a child,
Thou sleep’st too long, thou art beguiled.
My darling dear, my daisy flower,
Let me, quoth me, [...]
