There was a lady loved a swine,      "Honey!" quoth she; "Pig-hog, wilt thou be mine?"      "Hoogh!" quoth he. "I'll build thee a silver sty,      Honey!" quoth she; "And in it thou shalt lie!"      "Hoogh!" quoth he. "Pinned with a silver pin,      Honey!" quoth she; "That thou mayest go out and in,"      "Hoogh!" quoth he. "Wilt thou have me now,      Honey?" quoth she; "Speak, or my heart will break,"      "Hoogh!" quoth he.
