- Rhue and Thyme grew in the Garden,
But rue out of time
Isn't worth a farthing.Riddle:- When I was young
They did me cut
And in a hole they did me put.
When I was scarcely 6 months old,
They came to look for my poor soul.
With fire and water
They did me burn
With iron tools they did me turn,
Then they stripped me of my skin,
And found a hole to put me in.A Saw.
Of all the saws ever I saw,
I never saw a saw to saw like that saw.
It was mad by Jack Saw that came from Warsaw.A warlike instrument,
And a fishery engine - (Pr. ingane)
Spells the town-land
That lies next Cornafean.Drumcoghill.
