    Gray goose and gander,
        Waft your wings together,
    And carry the good king's daughter
        Over the one strand river.

Nursery Rhyme. DXC. Natural History.

        Goosey, goosey, gander,
        Where shall I wander?
    Up stairs, down stairs,
        And in my lady's chamber;
    There I met an old man
        That would not say his prayers;
    I took him by the left leg,
        And threw him down stairs.

    See, saw, Margery Daw,
    The old hen flew over the malt house,

    And this is it, this is it, this is it.

    I had two pigeons bright and gay,
    They flew from me the other day;
    What was the reason they did go?
    I cannot tell for I do not know.
