Nursery Rhyme. CCCCLXXX. Love And Matrimony.

    Up street, and down street,
        Each window's made of glass;
    If you go to Tommy Tickler's house,
        You'll find a pretty lass.

Nursery Rhyme. CCCCXLII. Love And Matrimony.

    It's once I courted as pretty a lass,
    As ever your eyes did see;
    But now she's come to such a pass,
    She never will do for me.
    She invited me to her own house,
    Where oft I'd been before,
    And she tumbled me into the hog-tub,
    And I'll never go there any more.

Nursery Rhyme. CCCCXXXIX. Love And Matrimony.

    As I was going up Pippen-hill,
        Pippen-hill was dirty,
    There I met a pretty miss,
        And she dropt me a curtsey.

    Little miss, pretty miss,
        Blessings light upon you!
    If I had half-a-crown a day,
        I'd spend it all on you.

Nursery Rhyme. CCCCLXXVIII. Love And Matrimony.

    There was a little maid, and she was afraid,
    That her sweetheart would come unto her;
    So she went to bed, and cover'd up her head
    And fasten'd the door with a skewer.

Nursery Rhyme. CCCCLXXXVIII. Love And Matrimony.

    Rowley Powley, pudding and pie,
    Kissed the girls and made them cry;
    When the girls begin to cry,
    Rowley Powley runs away.

Nursery Rhyme. CCCCLVIII. Love And Matrimony.

    Did you see my wife, did you see, did you see,
        Did you see my wife looking for me?
    She wears a straw bonnet, with white ribbands on it,
        And dimity petticoats over her knee.
