- (continued from previous page)Monday was my roving day
And Tuesday I got married,
Wednesday I stole a cow,
And Thursday I was taken,
Friday was my trial day,
And Saturday I hung like bacon. 17. Figure of one upon my tongue,
Figure of two to buckle my shoe,
Figure of three upon my knee,
Figure of four yo open the door,
Figure of five weer all alive,
Figure of six a bundle of sticks,
Figure of seven we will all go to heaven,
Figure of eight weel jump the gate,
Figure of nine a bottle of wine,
Figure of ten a little white hen.
- Who was the eldest man that ever lived and died before his father.
Mathuselam.
