[This Nursery Song May Probably Commemorate A Part Of Tom Thumb'S History, Extant In A Little Danish Work, Treating Of 'Swain Tomling, A Man No Bigger Than A Thumb, Who Would Be Married To A Woman Three Ells And Three Quarters Long.' See Mr. Thoms' Preface To 'Tom & Lincoln,' P. Xi.] I Had A Little Husband, No Bigger Than My Thumb; I Put Him In A Pint Pot, And There I Bid Him Drum. I Bought A Little Horse, That Galloped Up And Down; I Bridled Him, And Saddled Him, And Sent Him Out Of Town. I Gave Him Some Garters, To Garter Up His Hose, And A Little Handkerchief, To Wipe His Pretty Nose.
