Hale, Edward Everett, 1822-1909 · Boston : Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. · leaf 79
Boys and girls, come out to play,The moon does shine as bright as day,Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,And meet your playfellows in the street;Come with a whoop, and come with a call,And come with a good will, or not at all.Up the ladder and down the wall,A halfpenny roll will serve us… … Bide a cock horse to Shrewsbury-cross, To buy little Johnny a galloping horse It trots behind and it ambles before, And Johnny shall ride till he can ride no more.
