Nursery Games and Rhymes
By B. G. J.
In the Letters and Memoir of Bishop Shirley , allusion is made (p. 415.) to a once popular game called "Thread the needle," the first four lines of which are given. Can any of your readers supply the remainder, or refer me to any work where they may be found? I also should feel obliged by any information respecting the age and origin of the popular nursery song, beginning,— "A frog he would a-wooing go, Heigho, says Rowley." Perhaps some of your readers will state where the correct text may be met with.
