THE FROG WHO WOULD A WOOING GO.
Reading edition
A frog he would a wooing go, Whether his mother would let him or no. So off he marched with his nice new hat, And on the way he met a rat.
When they came to the door of the Mouse's Hall, They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call. "Pray Mrs. Mouse, are you within?" "Oh yes, Mr. Rat, I am learning to spin." "Pray Mrs. Mouse, will you give us some beer? For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer."
But as they were all a merry-making, The cat and her kittens came tumbling in. The Cat she seized the rat by the crown, The kittens they pulled the little mouse down. This put poor frog in a terrible fright, So he took up his hat and he wished them good night.
As Froggy was crossing him over a brook, A lilly-white duck came and gobbled him up. So there was an end of one, two, and three, The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Froggee?
