    Little Nanny Etticoat,
    In a white petticoat,
    The longer she stands
    The shorter she grows.
    A Candle
    Little Jenny Muddle,
    Sits in a puddle,
    Wearing a white petticoat
    And a green gown.
    A Rush.
    In marble walls as white as milk,
    Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
    Within a fountain crystal clear,
    A golden apple doth appear,
    No doors there are to this stonghold,
    Yet thieves break in steal the god.
    An egg.
