Or, occasionally, these lines,—

This pig went to market,

Squeak, mouse, mouse, mousey;

Shoe, shoe, shoe the wild colt,

And here's my own doll dowsy.

The following lines are said by the nurse when moving the child's foot

up and down,—

The dog of the kill,[35]

He went to the mill

To lick mill-dust:

The miller he came

With a stick on his back,—

Home, dog, home!

The foot behind,

The foot before:

When he came to a style,

Thus he jumped o'er.

[Footnote 35: A north-country term for _kiln_.]
