The rose is red, the grass is green
The tune to the following may be found in the 'English Dancing Master,' 1631, p. 37.
“The rose is red, the grass is green,
Serve Queen Bess our noble queen;
Kitty the spinner
Will sit down to dinner,
And eat the leg of a frog;
All good people
Look over the steeple,
And see the cat play with the dog.”
