    Riddles
    As I went out on yonder lawns
    I heard a young man giving a call.
    His head was flesh his mouth was horn
    and such a young man never was born.
    A cock crowing.
    As I was going to saint Ives.
    I chanced to meet with nine old wives
    each wife had nine sacks each sack had nine cats each cat had nine kits. Kits, cats sacks wives how many were going to saint Ives.
    Myself.
