A BOOK OF NURSERY RHYMES

How could there be a goose without a
bone?
How could there be a cherry without a
stone?

Petrum, &c.




How could there be a Bible no man could
read?
How could there be a blanket without a
thread?

Petrum, &c.




When the goose is in the egg-shell, there
is no bone;
When the cherry is in the blossom, there is
no stone.

Petrum, &c.




When the Bible is in the press, no man it
can read;
When the wool is on the sheep's back, there
is no thread.

Petrum, &c.
