This little piggyitlay down &dy'd
And Betty Pringle fat down and cry'd.

Then Johnny P:ingle bury'd this very pretty pig,
That was not very little, nor yet very big;
So here's an end of the ſong of all three,
Johnny Pringle, Betty Pringle, and the little Piggy.

The Nurſe's Song.

A corruption of the French nurſe's threat in the fable: He bas! la le loup! Huſh! there's the wolf.
