Jack and Jill went up the hill

Jack and Jill went up the hill

The fetch a pail of water;

Jack feel down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack and home did he trot,

As fast as he could caper;

Went to bed and bound his head,

With vinegar and brown paper.

When Jill came in how she did grin

To see Jack's paper plaster;

Mother vexed, did whip her next;

For causing Jack's disaster.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

And doesn't know where to find them.

Leave them alone, and they'll come home,

Bringing their tails behind them.

Little Bo peep fell fast asleep

And dreamt she heard them bleating;

But when she awoke, she found it a joke,

For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,

Determined her to find them;

She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,

For they'd left their tails behind them.

It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray

Into a meadow hard by,

There she espied their tails side by side,

All hung on a tree to dry.

She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,

And over the hillocks went rambling,

And tried what she could, as a sheperdess should,

To tack each again to its lambkin.
