Lion and Unicorn Woodcut, 1833

Lion and Unicorn
Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme, 1833

The lion and the unicorn
  Were fighting for the crown —
The lion beat the unicorn
  All about the town.
Some gave them white bread,
  And some gave them brown,
Some gave them plum-cake,
  And sent them out of town.

Note:  To this day, the symbolic British lion and unicorn rest atop the Old State House in Boston, with photos.
