Rhymes for Children 3

Let’s to bed
Said Sleepyhead.
Tarry a while, said Slow.
Put on a pan
Said Greedy Nan.
Let’s sup before we go.

Dean nei dhyn gwili,
Medh Pedn Hene.
Gyrtero rag teken, medh Sigr.
Greu settia padal,
Amedh Gargesen.
Gero nei cona ken moaz.

Hot Cross Buns.
Hot Cross Buns.
One a penny, two a penny.
Hot Cross Buns.
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns.

Py nagez mirhaz dho hwei,
Reuh go dho gyz mau .
Wynen rag dinar, deau rag dinar,
Tortelaw crouziez tubm.

I had a little pony.
His name was Dapple Grey.
I lent him to a lady
To ride a mile away.
She whipped him, she slashed him
And rode him through the mire.
I would not lend my pony now
For all the lady’s hire.

Thera dho vi gunhili.
Specketi henwez ê.
Mi gulaz ê orta arlodhez
Dho varoga myldîr alêz.
Hei ê hwipiaz ha lakiaz
Ha ê varogaz war an prei
Na ressan culah a marh namûi
Rag ol an gûber hei.

Curly locks, curly locks,
Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes
Nor yet feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries,
Sugar and cream.

Bleau crylliaz, bleau crylliaz,
Venta chi boaz pêth vi?
Na râ chi golhi listri,
Na hagen bûza môh.
Chi râ sêdha war quishen
Ha brôtshe gwriaw fîn,
Ha debbri moiar-cala,
Dehen ha côn.
