"The ball is yours and not ours,
You must go to the garden and gather the flowers."
And the child who had the ball takes the queen's seat, whilst she
retires with the others; but should she have made a mistake, the same
party go out again, saying as they curtsey--
"The ball is yours and not ours,
(Repeat) We," etc.
Mr. Halliwell Phillips, in his book before quoted, has shorter versions
of this, with different rhymes.
