_Norfolk Folk Lore Rhymes._--I have met with the rhymes following, which
may not be uninteresting to some of your readers as _Folk Lore, Norfolk_:--
"Rising was, Lynn is, and Downham shall be,
The greatest seaport of the three."
Another version of the same runs thus:
"Risin was a seaport town,
And Lynn it was a wash,
But now Lynn is a seaport Lynn,
And Rising fares the worst."
Also another satirical tradition in rhyme:
"That nasty stinking sink-hole of sin,
Which the map of the county denominates Lynn."
Also:
"Caistor was a city ere Norwich was none,
And Norwich was built of Caistor stone."
