Puer C'ruleus.
by Jacob BigelowLittle Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
The cow's in the meadow, the sheep in the corn.
Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep?
Under the haycock fast asleep.
C'rule parve puer, cornu nunc suscipe cantum.
Per segetes errant pecudes, per pascua vacc'.
Ah, ubi nunc ovium custos tam parvulus absit?
En, gregis oblitus sub f'no dormit opaco.
