NURSERY RHYMES OF LONDON TOWN.
Reading edition
VI.—Chalk Farm.
Certain farmers farm in fruit, and some farm in grain, Others farm in dairy-stuff, and many farm in vain, But I know a place for a Sunday morning's walk Where the Farmer and his Family only farm in Chalk. The Farmer and his Family before you walk back Will bid you in to sit awhile and share their midday snack; O they that live in Chalk Farm they live at their ease, For the Farmer and his Family can't tell Chalk from Cheese.
VII.—The Spaniards.
Three Spaniards dwell on Hampstead Heath: One has a scowl and a knife in a sheath; One twangs a guitar in the bright moonlight; One chases a bull round a bush all night!
"In talking of flying, Boillot only returned to a pastime that he had been one of the first to practise."—Pall Mall Gazette.
Just like our Mr. Billing.
