SONGS OF PLAY: TORTOISE IN THE RING by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "TURTLE-TORTLE, WHAT DOST THOU THERE?"
Last Line: HE DROVE A WHITE HORSE AND WENT SPLASH IN THE SEA
Subject(s): PLAY;
-- Turtle-tortle, what dost thou there?
-- I'm weaving a weft of Milesian rare.
-- And how comes thy bantling a corpse for to be?
-- He drove a white horse and went splash in the sea.
