Three Blinde Mice,
three Blinde Mice,
Dame lulian,
Dame lulian,
The Miller and his merry olde Wife,
shee scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife.
That this ancient rhyme has survived into the present day has been credited to James O. Halliwell. The modern words are:
Three blind mice. Three blind mice.

As three blind mice?
