Humpty Dumpty is a famous character in an English nursery rhyme. The character represents an egg. This kid’s poem was once used to be a riddle, and the egg was probably the riddle’s answer. Its origion dates back to the early 19th century. Also, in the 17th century, Humpty Dumpty was the name of a kind of brandy, and the word was used to describe a short and clumsy person.

It was first published as a riddle in Gammer Gurton’s Garland in 1810. Earlier in 1803, it was found in a manuscript of Mother Goose’s Melody.

Humpty Dumpty 

(First Printed- Original Lyrics)

Humpty Dumpty sate [sic] on a wall,

 Humpti Dumpti [sic] had a great fall;

 Threescore men and threescore more,

 Cannot place Humpty dumpty as he was before

(Modern Lyrics)

          Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

           Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

             All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

           Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

     (Collected Version by James Orchard)

Humpty Dumpty lay in a beck.

 With all his sinews around his neck;

 Forty Doctors and forty wrights

 Couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty to rights!
