I Will Sing You a Song Though Its Not Very Long - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration

A medieval lady seated at an organ is singing a rather cruel song with a group of smug-looking children while a boy laboriously pumps the wind into the instrument, looking thoroughly miserable, no doubt thinking he is the boy in question.
?I will sing you a song though it's not very long - Of the wood-cock and the sparrow - Of the little dog that burned his tail - And the little boy that must be whipt to-morrow.?
From ?Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva? illustrated by J.E. Rogers, with chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor and published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co
