THE FROG WHO WOULD A WOOING GO. (2) |
A frog he would a wooing go,
Whether his mother would let him or no.
So off he marched with his nice new hat,
And on the way he met a rat. | On the way he met a rat |
| Mousie spinning | When they came to the door of the Mouse's Hall,
They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call.
"Pray Mrs. Mouse, are you within?"
"Oh yes, Mr. Rat, I am learning to spin."
"Pray Mrs. Mouse, will you give us some beer?
For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer."
|
But as they were all a merry-making,
The cat and her kittens came tumbling in.
The Cat she seized the rat by the crown,
The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.
This put poor frog in a terrible fright,
So he took up his hat and he wished them good night.
| Mousie and Rat Playing | The cat and kittens |
As Froggy was crossing him over a brook,
A lilly-white duck came and gobbled him up.
So there was an end of one, two, and three,
The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Froggee?
| End of Froggy |
