(b) A long row of children walk to and fro. One child, facing them on the opposite side, represents the Rover. He sings the first, third, and fifth verses. The row of children sing the second and fourth in response. After the fifth verse is sung the Rover skips round the long row, singing the sixth verse to the tune of " Nancy Dawson," or u Round the Mulberry bush." He chooses one of them, who goes to the opposite side with him, and the game goes on until all are rovers like himself.
