"Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."

The Owl and the Pussycat (1871)

They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the bong-tree grows.

The Owl and the Pussycat (1871)

They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

The Owl and the Pussycat (1871)

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"

The Owl and the Pussycat (1871)
