And nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.—(Derbyshire.)

Cock Robin is dead, and lies in his grave,
Hum, ha! lies in his grave.
Place an old apple-tree over his head,
Hum, ha! over his head.
When they were ripe and ready to fall,
Hum, ha! ready to fall.
There comes an old woman a-picking them up,
Hum, ha! a-picking them up.
Cock Robin jumps up, and gives her a good knock.
Hum, ha! gives her a good knock.—(Derbyshire.)

There was a jolly Miller, and he lived by himself.
As the wheel went round, he made his wealth;
One hand was in the hopper, the other in the bag,
As the wheel went round he made his grab.—(Derbyshire.)

On the carpet you shall kneel,
As the grass grows in the field,
Stand up, stand up on your feet,
And shew me the girl you love so sweet.
Now Sally's married, I hope she'll enjoy,
First with a girl, and then with a boy,
Seven years old, and seven years young,
Pray, young lady, walk out of your ring.—(Derbyshire.)
