Caldecott Picture Books] A FROG HE WOULD A-WOOING GO [Illustration] [Illustration] A Frog he would a-wooing go, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! Whether his Mother would let him or no. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] So off he set with his opera-hat, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! And on his way he met with a Rat. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] "Pray, MR. RAT, will you go with me," _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! "Pretty MISS MOUSEY for to see?" _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] A Frog he would a-wooing go, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY!

"Pretty MISS MOUSEY for to see?" _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] Now they soon arrived at Mousey's Hall, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! And gave a loud knock, and gave a loud call. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] "Pray, Miss MOUSEY, are you within?" _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! "Oh, yes, kind Sirs, I'm sitting to spin." _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] "Pray, Miss MOUSE, will you give us some beer?" _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! "For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer." _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho says_, ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] "Pray, Mr. FROG, will you give us a song? _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! "But let it be something that's not very long." _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,_ _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] "Indeed, Miss MOUSE," replied Mr FROG, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! "A cold has made me as hoarse as a Hog." _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] "Since you have caught cold," Miss MOUSEY said. _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! "I'll sing you a song that I have just made." _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] But while they were all thus a merry-making, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! A Cat and her Kittens came tumbling in. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] The Cat she seized the Rat by the crown; _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! The Kittens they pulled the little Mouse down. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] This put Mr. FROG in a terrible fright; _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! He took up his hat, and he wished them good night. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] But as Froggy was crossing a silvery brook, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! A lily-white Duck came and gobbled him up. _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY! [Illustration] [Illustration] So there was an end of one, two, and three, _Heigho, says_ ROWLEY! The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee! _With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach_, _Heigho, says_ ANTHONY ROWLEY!
