BANBURY FAIR, by ANONYMOUS First Line: As I was going to banbury / upon a summer's day Last Line: From famous banbury fair | |||
As I was going to Banbury, Upon a summer's day, My dame had butter, eggs, and fruit, And I had corn and hay. Joe drove the ox, and Tom the swine, Dick took the foal and mare; I sold them all--then home to dine, From famous Banbury fair. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
