MORS TURDO-GALLI
Who killed Cock Robin?
I, says the sparrow;
With my bow and arrow,
I killed Cock Robin.
Quis Turdo-gallum necavit?
En, adsum qui feci,
Qui telum conjeci;
Jaculis et arcu
Passer interfeci.
PUER CÆRULEUS
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
The cow’s in the meadow, the sheep in the corn.
Where’s the little boy that looks after the sheep?
Under the haycock fast asleep.
Cœrule parve puer, cornu nunc suscipe cantum.
Per segetes errant pecudes, per pascua vaccæ.
Ah, ubi nunc ovium custos tam parvulus absit?
En, gregis oblitus sub fœno dormit opaco.
VETULA CALCEOCOLA
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
Who had so many children she didn’t 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 quæ luctans natos compescuit arctos;
Jus illis profert oblita apponere panem,
Verberibusque datis dormitum sæva remittit.
CANIS KEVENSIS
I am his Highness’s dog at Kew.
Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
Principis excelsi coram canis ecce Kevensis.
Dic mihi vicissim quæso cujus canis es tu?
DICCORA DOGIUM
Dickory dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Dickory dickory dock.
Diccora diccora dogium,
Ascendit mus horologium.
Insonuit hora,
Fugit mus sine morâ,
Diccora diccora dogium.
Δίκκορα δίκκορα δόγιον
Ἀνέβη μῦς εἰς ὡρολόγιον·
Ἕν! ὥρα ἔφη·
Ὁ δὲ μῦς κατέβη.
Δίκκορα δίκκορα δόγιον.
Ἄρχετε Δικκορικᾶς μοῖσαι φίλαι ἄρχετ’ ἀοιδᾶς.
Ἠγέρθη ποθ’ ὕραξ, ἀνέβη δ’ εἰς ὡρολογητήν‧
Κώδωνος φθογγὸν δεινὸν κατέφευγε φοβηθείς.
Λήγετε Δικκορικᾶς μοῖσαι ἴτε λήγετ’ ἀοιδᾶς.
