"Where are you going to, my pretty maid?" "I am going a-milking, sir," she said. "May I go with you, my pretty maid?" "You're kindly welcome, sir," she said. "What is your father, my pretty maid?"

[Illustration: "OLD MOTHER HUBBARD WENT TO THE CUPBOARD."] [Illustration] OLD MOTHER HUBBARD AND HER DOG. OLD Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard, To get her poor Dog a bone; But when she came there The cupboard was bare, And so the poor Dog had none. [Illustration] She went to the baker's To buy him some bread, But when she came back The poor Dog was dead. [Illustration] She went to the joiner's To buy him a coffin, But when she came back The poor Dog was laughing, [Illustration] She took a clean dish To get him some tripe, But when she came back He was smoking a pipe. [Illustration] She went to the alehouse To get him some beer, But when she came back The Dog sat in a chair. [Illustration] She went to the tavern For white wine and red, But when she came back The Dog stood on his head. [Illustration] She went to the hatter's To buy him a hat, But when she came back He was feeding the cat. [Illustration] She went to the barber's To buy him a wig, But when she came back He was dancing a jig. [Illustration] She went to the fruiterer's To buy him some fruit, But when she came back He was playing the flute. [Illustration] She went to the tailor's To buy him a coat, But when she came back He was riding a goat. [Illustration] She went to the cobbler's To buy him some shoes, But when she came back He was reading the news. [Illustration] She went to the sempstress To buy him some linen, But when she came back The Dog was a-spinning.

[Illustration: "THE DAME MADE A CURTSEY, THE DOG MADE A BOW."] The Dame made a curtsey, The Dog made a bow; The Dame said, "Your servant," The Dog said, "Bow wow." This wonderful Dog Was Dame Hubbard's delight; He could sing, he could dance, He could read, he could write. She gave him rich dainties Whenever he fed, And erected a monument When he was dead.
