90 MOTHER GOOSE'S NURSERY RHYMES.
The Goldfinch came on next, To give away the Bride;
The Linnet, being bridesmaid, Walked by Jenny's side;
And as she was a-walking, Said, " Upon my word,
I think that your Cock Robin Is a very pretty bird."
The Blackbird and the Thrush, And charming Nightingale,
Whose sweet "jug" sweedy echoes Through every grove and dale;
The Sparrow and Tomtit, And many more, were there;
All came to see the wedding Of Jenny Wren the fair.
The Bullfinch walked by Robin, And thus to him did say, , " Pray mark, friend Robin Redbreast, That Goldfinch dressed so gay:
"What though her gay apparel Becomes her very well, Yet Jenny's modest dress and look Must bear away the bell." |
