There Was A Lady Loved A Swine
by Walter Crane1.
There was a lady loved a swine,
"Honey!" said she;
"Pig-hog, wilt thou be mine?"
"Hunc!" said he.
2.
"I'll build thee a silver sty,
Honey!" said she;
"And in it thou shalt lie!"
"Hunc!" said he.
3.
"Pinned with a silver pin,
Honey!" said she;
"That thou mayest go out and in,"
"Hunc!" said he.
4.
"Will thou have me now,
Honey?" said she;
"Speak, or my heart will break,"
"Hunc!" said he.
