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.
