Reading Notes: Nursery Rhymes, Part B

Riddles The Nursery Rhyme Book edited by Andrew Lang and illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke (1897):
In one of the riddles the stanza was longer and ever 2 lines rhymed. 
There was one similar but the stanza was only 4 lines but lines 1 and 2 rhymed and 3 and 4 rhymed. 

Relics The Nursery Rhyme Book edited by Andrew Lang and illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke (1897):
I noticed in these they repeat a certain word over through out the poem. 
Little Miss Muffet is an example of this. 
They also tend me be a few lines longer than some of the other ones.
