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 sightMy 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 lieAnd live, where all the world would die.
