Vetula Calceocola.

By Jacob Bigelow

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, Who had so many children she didnt know what to do; She gave them some broth without any bread, And whipt them all soundly and sent them to bed. Calceus inclusit vetulam turbamque suorum, Multum qu luctans natos compescuit arctos; Jus illis profert oblita apponere panem, Verberibusque datis dormitum sva remittit.
