Poor old Robinson Crusoe! Poor old Robinson Crusoe! ⁠They made him a coat ⁠Of an old nanny-goat, I wonder how they could do so ⁠With a ring-a-ting tang, ⁠And a ring-a-ting tang, Poor old Robinson Crusoe!
	Jack be nimble, ⁠And Jack be quick And Jack jump over ⁠The candlestick.

Dr. Foster went to Gloucester ⁠In a shower of rain He stepped in a puddle, right up to his middle, ⁠And never went there again.	Fiddle-de-dee, fiddle-de-dee, The Fly shall marry the Bumblebee. They went to church, and married was she: The Fly has married the Bumblebee.

Drawn by Arthur Rackham.

A TEN O’CLOCK SCHOLAR

A dillar, a dollar,
A ten o’clock scholar,
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o’clock,
But now you come at noon
