THE FROG WOULD A-WOOING GO
'Indeed, Mistress Mouse,' replied Mr. Frog,
Heigho, says Rowley,
'A cold has made me as hoarse as a dog.'
With a rowley powley, etc.
'Since you have caught cold, Mr. Frog,' Mousey said,
Heigho, says Rowley,
'I'll sing you a song that I have just made.'
With a rowley powley, etc.
But while they were all a merry-making,
Heigho, says Rowley,
A cat and her kittens came tumbling in.
With a rowley powley, etc.
The cat she seized the rat by the crown;
Heigho, says Rowley,
The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.
With a rowley powley, etc.
This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright;
Heigho, says Rowley,
He took up his hat, and wished them goodnight.
With a rowley powley, etc.
But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,
Heigho, says Rowley,
A lily-white duck came and gobbled him up,
With a rowley powley, etc.
