The Thingumbob sat at eventide..

The town of Nice! the town of Nice!.

The woggly bird sat on the whango tree.
The woodchuck told it all about..

There be two men of all mankind.

There is a river clear and fair.

There lived an old man in the kingdom of Tess.
There lived a sage in days of yore..

There once was a Shah had a second son.
There sat an old man on a rock..

There's a bower of bean-vines in Benjamin's yard.

There were three sailors of Bristol City.

There were two of us left in the berry-patch.
These are the things that make me laugh.
They called him Bill, the hired man..
They nearly strike me dumb..
They're always abusing the women.
They spoke of Progress spiring round.
They stood on the bridge at midnight.
They tell me (but I really can't.

'Twas a pretty little maiden

'Twas after supper of Norfolk brawn.
'Twas April when she came to town.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves.
'Twas brussels, and the loose liege.
'Twas ever thus from childhood's hour!.
'Twas gilbert. The kchesterton....

'Twas late, and the gay company was gone.
'Twas more than a million years ago.

'Twas on a lofty vase's side.

'Twas on a windy night....

'Twas on the shores that round our coast.

'Twas raw, and chill, and cold outside..

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house..

'Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell...

Two gentlemen their appetite had fed..

Two honest tradesmen meeting in the Strand.

Two old Bachelors were living in one house.

Two webfoot brothers loved a fair...

Two Yankee wags, one summer day.

Tying her bonnet under her chin.

Uncle Simon he...

Upon a rock, yet uncreate.

Upon an island, all alone..

Upon ane stormy Sunday..

Upon the poop the captain stands.

Wake! for the Hack scatter into flight.

Wal, no! I can't tell whar he lives..
Wan from the wild and woful West.
Was once a hen of wit not small.

We climbed to the top of Goat Point hill.
We love thee Ann Maria Smith..

We seek to know, and knowing seek.

"What other men have dared, I dare.'
What poor short-sighted worms we be.
What? rise again with all one's bones.
What, what, what..

What will we do when the good days come.
Whenas to shoot my Julia goes..
When Chapman billies leave the street.
When dido found Aeneas would not come.

When sporgles spanned the floreate mead..

When that old joke was new..

When the breeze from the bluebottle's blustering blim.
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock
When the landlord wants the rent...

Whene'er with haggard eyes I view.

Where the Moosatockmaguntic...

When you slice a Georgy melon you mus' know what you is at
Whene'er I take my walks abroad..

Whereas, on certain boughs and sprays.

Why do you wear your hair like a man..

[blocks in formation]

Wisely a woman prefers to a lover a man who neglects her.
With chocolate-cream that you buy in the cake.
With due condescension, I'd call your attention.

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night.
Ye may tramp the world over...
Years-years ago-ere yet my dreams.

Yes, write if you want to-there's nothing like trying.
Yet another great truth I record in my verse...
"You are old Father William," the young man said.
"You are old, Father William," the young man said.
You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come.
You bid me try. Blue-eyes, to write...

"You gave me the key of your heart, my love.

You may notch it on the palin's as a mighty resky plan...

"You must give back." her mother said..

You prefer a buffoon to a scholar...
