Two or three posies

  • Two or three posies
  • With two or three simples
  • Two or three noses
  • With two or three pimples —
  • Two or three wise men
  • And two or three ninnies —
  • Two or three purses
  • And two or three guineas —
  • Two or three raps
  • At two or three doors —
  • Two or three naps
  • Of two or three hours —
  • Two or three cats
  • And two or three mice
  • Two or three sprats
  • At a very great price —
  • Two or three sandies
  • And two or three tabbies
  • Two or three dandies —
  • And two Mrs. —
  • Two or three smiles
  • And two or three frowns
  • Two or three miles
  • To two or three towns
  • Two or three pegs
  • For two or three bonnets —
  • Two or three dove’s eggs
  • To hatch into sonnets —
