E. L. M. King, Fifty Country Rhymes for Children (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1926): 20. 011645.g.117 British Library
1Wolf has turned to house-dog,
2Tiger-cat tom kitty,
3Timid horse to charger,
4Or drayhorse in the city;
5Stones are raised to steeples,
6Iron floats at sea,
7Cannibals grow Christians --
8There's hope for you and me!
