There was an Old Lady whose folly, ,
Induced her to sit on a holly; ;
Whereon by a thorn,
Her dress being torn, , ,
She quickly became melancholy. .
There was an Old Man of the Dee,
Who was sadly annoyed by a flea; , ;
When he said, 'I will scratch it,' : « !»
They gave him a hatchet, ,
Which grieved that Old Man of the Dee. .
