 Doctor Fostkr 
 
 Went to Glo'ster, 
 In a shower of rain ; 
 
 He stepped in a puddle 
 
 Up to his middle,

 Come again another day, 
 Little Arthur wants to play.

 To buy John a drum;

 For market is done.

 Put on the pot,

 Let us suj) before we go. 
 

 
 
 St-E the busy mill 
 Of the busy miller ; 
 
 He has a little girl, 
 
 They call her pretty Lilla. 
 
 Oh, dusty is his coat, 
 And dusty is its collar; 
 
 His mill runs late and early^ 
 Earning him many a dollar*
