From it she raised up such a flame,As flamed away to Belting Lane, And White Cross folks were smothered. And thus when once, my little dears,A whisper reaches itching ears, The same will come, youll find:Take my advice, restrain the tongue,Remember what old nurse has sung Of busy lady Wind! [3]… … She went to the bakersTo buy him some bread, And when she came backThe poor dog was dead. She went to the joinersTo buy him a coffin, And when she came backThe poor dog was laughing. She took a clean dishTo get him some tripe, And when she came backHe was smoking his pipe.
