As little Jenny Wren
V.";i? sitting by the shed,
She waggled with her tail,
And nodded with her head.
She waggled with her tail,
And nodded with her head,
As little Jenny Wren
Was sitting by the shed.

The Life of
LITTLE JENNY WREN,
How shn was sick,
And got well again.
KNNY WREN fell sick,
Upon a merry time,
ID came Robin Red-Breast,
And brought her sops and wine.
JENNY WREN.
Eat well of the sop, Jenny,
Drink well of the wine ;
Thank you, Robiii, kindly,
You shall be mine.
Here's Jenny on the glass,
Eating the sops very fast.
JENNY WREN.
Jenny she got well,
And stood upon her feet,
And told Robin plainly,
She lov'd him not a bit.
Jenny's very naughty tho'
To use her husbaud Robiu so.
JENNY WREN.
Robin being angry,
Hopp'd on a twig,
Saying, out upon you,
Fie upon you, bold-fac'd jig.
So Jenny got well,
And made Robin mad,
Tho' her health was now good,
Her behaviour TUJ bad.
6 JENNY WREN.
The Death of
LITTLE JENNY WREN,
And what the doctors
All said then.
enny Wren was sick again,
And Jenny Wren did die,
Tho' doctors vow'd to en re her.
Or know the reason why.
JENNY WREN.
Doctor Hawk felt her pulse,
And, shaking his head,
Says, I fear I can't save her,
Because she's quite dead.
Doctor Hawk's a clever fellow,
PinchV. her wrist enough to kill
her.
JENNY WREN.
She'll do very well yet,
Then said Doctor Fox,
If she take but one pill
From out of this box.
Ah ! Doctor Fox,
Yon are very cunning,
For if she'& 'lead,
You will uot get one in
JENNY WllEN.
With hartshorjiin hand,
Came DoctoF Tern Tit,
Saying, really., good Sirs.
It's only a^t.
You're right, Doctor Tit,
You need make no doubt on
But death is a fit
Folks soldom get out on.

JENNY WREN.
Doctor Cat says, indeed,
1 don't think she's dead,
I believe, if I try,
She yet may be bled.
YUQ need not a lancet,
Miss Pussey, indeed,
Your claws are enough
A poor Wren to bleed.
JENNY WREN.
I think, Puss, you're foolist
Theu said Doctor Goose ;
For to bleed a dead Wren,
Can be of no use.
Why, Doctor Goose, -
You're very wise,
Your wisdom profound
Might Ganders surpris*.
Doctor Jack Ass then said,
Sei^ this balsam, 1 make it,
S'af vet may survive,
If you j- r et her to take it.
you say, Doctor Ass,
Perhaps may be true ;
" ne'er saw the dead drink,
Pray, Doctor, did you ?
