"Snail, Snail, come out of your Hole"
By GEO. E. FRERE.
Your correspondent S. W. Singer has brought to my recollection a verse, which I heard some children singing near Exeter, in July last, and noted down, but afterwards forgot to send to you:— "Snail, snail, shut out your horns; Father and mother are dead: Brother and sister are in the back yard, Begging for barley bread."
