Blenky my nutty-cock
From The Nursery Rhymes of England, collected by J. O. Halliwell (London: Warne; first ed. 1842; this printing 1886)
Blenky my nutty-cock,
Blenk him away;
My nutty-cock's never
Been blenk'd to-day.
What wi' carding and spinning on't wheel,
We've never had time to blenk nutty-cock weel;
But let to-morrow come ever so sune,
My nutty-cock it sall be blenk'd by nune.
