. Gems from Mother Goose . PUSSg-CAT eat the dumplings, the dumplings,Pussy-Cat eat the dumplings. Mamma stood by, and cried, 0, fieWhy did you eat the dumplings? A S I went through the garden gap• Whom should I meet but Dick Red-cap!A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat,If youll tell me this riddle, Ill give you a groat. ( A CHERRY. ) MY lady Wind, my lady Wind, Went round about the house to find A chink to get her foot in;She tried the key-hole in the door,She tried the crevice in the floor, And drove the chimney soot in. And then one night when it was dark,She blew up such a tiny spark

And then one night when it was dark,She blew up such a tiny spark, Till all the house was pothered:From it she raised up such a flame,As flamed away to Belting Lane, And White Cross folks were smothered. And thus when once, my little dears,A whisper reaches itching ears, The same will come youll find:Take my advice, restrain the tongue,Remember what old nurse has sung Of busy lady Wind!. MY LADY WIND.
