Traditional Nursery Songs. 53
The knave of clubs
Gives winks and rubs, And swears he'll take her part;
For when our kings
Will do such things, They should be made to smart.
. The diamond king
I fain would sing, And likewise his fair queen,
But that the knave,
A haughty slave, Must needs step in between.
" Good diamond king,
With hempen string This haughty knave destroy,
Then may your queen,
With mind serene, Your royal love enjoy."
T HERE was a little boy went into a barn, And lay down on some hay; An owl came out and flew about, • And the little boy ran away.
