Chapter 2

his Counting-house,

Counting out his Money.

The Queen was in

the Parlour,

Eating Bread and Honey.

The Maid was in

the Garden,

Hanging out the Clothes;

There came a little Blackbird,

And snapped off her Nose

But there came a Jenny Wren and popped it on again.

THE QUEEN OF HEARTS

The Queen of Hearts, She made some Tarts,

All on a Summer's Day:

The Knave of Hearts, He stole those Tarts,

And took them right away.

The King of Hearts, Called for those Tarts,

And beat the Knave full sore:

The Knave of Hearts, Brought back those Tarts,

And vowed he'd steal no more.
