Pussy-Cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?
I’ve been up to London to look at the queen.
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, what did you there?
I frighten’d a little mouse under the chair.

A Pair of Snuffers.
A mouth I have got, that’s not whiter than ink.
And all I devour doth most nauseously stink;
So much valued am I, that by none I’m refused,
And the light shines the brighter whenever I’m used.
A Watch.
My form is beauteous to allure the sight
My habit gay, of colour gold & white,
When ladies take the air, it is my pride,
To walk with equal paces by their side,
I near their persons constantly remain,
A favourite slave, bound in a golden chain.
A Wheelbarrow.
No mouth, no eyes, nor yet a nose,
Two arms, two feet, and as it goes,
The feet don’t touch the ground,
But all the way the head runs round.
And tho’ I can both speak and go alone,
Yet are my motions to myself unknown.
A Salamander.
What all consumes best pleases me,
I covet that which others flee,
Strange thing to tell, unhurt I lie
And live, where all the world would die.
