There Was A Lady Loved A Swine

By Walter Crane

1. 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.
