1780
Written in a book
Mirth Without Mischief
A game Children undertook
Take a turn to sing
if you don't guess correctly
  in the 12 day song,
pay the price,
with a sweet that is nice
Historians thought the song
originated from France all along,
before the England transfer
Evidenced by the inclusion,
of the Partridge Bird,
native to France have you heard
Arrival in England 18th Century
French way
Perdrix dans un poirier
