From the nurdery rhyme "I had a llittle nut tree"

I had a little nut tree,
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear;

The King of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me,
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree.


I said, "So fair a princess
Never did I see,
I'll give you all the fruit
From my little nut tree.
