THE REAL MOTHER GOOSE
The Real Mother Goose is one of the first books I remember reading
It is one of the larger collections of rhymes for children
It has wonderful pen and watercolor illustrations by Blanche Fisher Wright
In 1989
The Real Mother Goose was 20th on the list of All-Time Bestselling Hardcover Children's Books, having sold 3,600,000
This book was originaly copyrighted in 1916
which now makes it in the public domain
I'm pleased to be able to transcribe it and make it available across the internet
Oranges & Lemons

欢乐地摇下又摇上，伦敦的钟儿响当当。提到枪靶和靶心，就数大钟圣马格丽特。提到瓦片和砖头，就数大钟圣吉尔斯。提到橘子和柠檬，就数大钟圣克雷门。提到糕饼和馅饼，就数大钟圣彼德。两根木棒一颗苹果，那就是大钟白教堂。提到光头老神父，就想到大钟阿得盖特。提到穿白围裙的女士们，就数大钟圣凯萨林。说到火叉和火钳，就数大钟圣约翰。说起茶壶和煎锅，就想到大钟圣安娜。提到五毛钱和两分半，就数大钟圣马汀。提到你欠我十先令，就想到大钟圣海伦。要问你什么时候还钱，就让我想到大钟老贝礼。还钱？得等我有钱，就想到大钟休尔狄区。等你有钱？那是什么时候？就想到大钟史特普尼。我也不太清楚，似是大钟包伍的回应。应该是我老的时候吧，说话的像是大钟圣保罗。蜡烛点燃时你该上床睡觉去，当心刀斧要你的命
Ten little nigger boys went out to dine
Ten little nigger boys went out to dine; One choked his little self, and then there were nine. Nine little nigger boys sat up very late; One overslept himself, and then there were eight. Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there, and then there were seven. Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half, and then there were six. Six little nigger boys playing with a hive; A bumble-bee stung one, and then there were five. Five little nigger boys going in for law; One got in chancery, and then there were four. Four little nigger boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one, and then there were three. Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear bugged one, and then there were two. Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up, and then there was one. One little nigger boy living all alone; He got married, and then there were none.

Sing A Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence, A pocket full of rye; Four-and-twenty blackbirds Baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened The birds began to sing; Was not that a dainty dish To set before the king?
The king was in his counting-house, Counting out his money; The queen was in the parlor, Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden, Hanging out the clothes; When down came a blackbird And snapped off her nose.
唱一首六便士之歌， 袋子里装满黑麦； 二十四只黑画眉， 被放在派里面烤！
当派被剥开， 画眉开始唱歌； 那可不是放在国王桌前， 十分可口的一餐吗？
国王在账房数钱； 王后在客厅吃面包蜂蜜。 女仆在花园晒衣； 一只黑画眉飞来， 啄走了她的鼻子。
Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice! See how they run! They all ran after the farmer's wife, Who cut off their tails with a carving knife. Did you ever see such a thing in your life As three blind mice?
三只瞎眼的老鼠！看它们跑的方式！ 它们追着农夫的老婆， 她用餐刀切了它们的尾巴。 你这辈子见过像这样的东西吗？ 和三只瞎眼的老鼠一样。
