    (continued from previous page)
    I have a small box under my arm
    And a couple of pence would do it no harm.
    And if you fill it of the best.
    I hope your soul in Heaven will rest.
    And if you fill it of the small it will not please the wren at all.
    So up with the kettle and down with the pan.
    Give me a penny and let me go on.
