Tommy’s Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,
Baker’s man!
That I will master,
As fast as I can.

Pat it, and prick it,
And mark it with T,
And there will be enough
For Jacky and me.

The Man of Thessaly

There was a man of Thessaly,
  And he was wond’rous wise,
He jump’d into a quickset hedge,
  And scratched out both his eyes:

But when he saw his eyes were out,
  With all his might and main
He jump’d into another hedge,
  And scratch’d them back again.
