 The dame sat on this side 
 
 And she sat on that.

 Some cold fish had got, 
 Which for Pussy 
 
 She kept in store, 
 When she looked 
 
 There was none, 
 The cold fish was gone, 
 
 For Miss Pussy 
 Had been there before. 
 
 She trotted again, 
 
 To buy her some milk, 
 When she came back, 
 
 She was sewing of silk. 
 
 She went to buy her 
 
 Cap, necklace, and frock,

 g There was an old woman who lived at Stepney 
 And ont of her nose there grew a plum tree. |p 
 
 All the children who knew her, 
 The plums they would steal, 
 But while fast asleep, 
 
 For fear them she should feel. 
 
 This old woman went 
 
 One fin£ day to the lawn 
 Of my Lord Cockagee, 
 
 And there shot a young fawn, 
 
 She tied up the hind legs 
 
 To the branch of her tree, 
 And so quitted the lawn 
 Of my Lord Cockagee.
