'Dost fear, Rob Gilpin, to ride with me!'
Oh, never might man unscath'd espy
One single glance from that coal-black eye.
Away she flew!
Without more ado
Rob seizes and mounts on a broomstick too,
'Hey! up the chimney, lass! Hey after you!'

Bye, baby bunting,
Daddy's gone a
He'll never get this rabbit's skin,
To wrap the baby bunting in.

This nursery rhyme dates to 1784 but is believed to have been part of an earlier oral tradition. [ Note Rabbits hunting in the Rackham illustration]
