Our Saucy Boy Dick

The Nursery Rhymes of England. James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps. 1886.

Our saucy boy Dick,
Had a nice little stick
  Cut from a hawthorn tree;
And with this pretty stick,
He thought he could beat
  A boy much bigger than he.

But the boy turned round,
And hit him a rebound,
  Which did so frighten poor Dick,
That, without more delay,
He ran quite away,
  And over a hedge he jumped quick.
