Chapter 11
Queen Anne
Buz and Hum
BUZ, quoth the blue fly,
Hum, quoth the bee,
Buz and hum they cry,
And so do we.
In his ear, in his nose,
Thus, do you see?
He ate the dormouse,
Else it was he.
Tommy Tittlemouse
Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house;
He caught fishes
In other men's ditches.
A and B and See
Great A, little a, bouncing B,
The cat's in the cupboard and she can't see.
Doctor Foster
DOCTOR Foster went to Glo'ster,
In a shower of rain;
He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle,
And never went there again.
Daffy Down Dilly
Daffy-down-dilly has come to town,
In a yellow petticoat, and a green gown.
Queen Anne, Queen Anne,
you sit in the sun,
As fair as a lily,
as white as a wand.
I send you three letters,
and pray read one,
You must read one, if you can't read all
So pray Miss or Master throw up the ball.
