A Song For Two Children.
"Make a song, father, a new little song, All for Jenny and Nancy." Balow lalow or Hey derry down, Or else what might you fancy? Is there any song sweet enough For Nancy and for Jenny?

"Some speak of Alexander, And some of Hercules, But where are there any like Nancy and Jenny, Where are there any like these?"
