o rest a little while: 30 When she came to the church yard,There the bells so loud she heard. When she came to the church door,She stoppd to rest a little more:When she came the church within,The parson prayd gainst pride and sin. On looking up, on looking down,She saw a dead man on the ground :And… … Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy, and Bess,They all went together to seek a birds nest.They found a birds nest, with five eggs in,They all took one, and left four in. Harry, good boy, went to school,And ever since has made a ruleTo please mamma, and hopes, he says,To make her happy all his days. 32
