Funny Alphabet / Uncle Franks' Series

A was an Actor,
’Tis clear to your view:
B was three Boys,
Forming letters for you.
C was a clown, who clever was found.
D was a dunce, and Harlequin bound,
E was soon formed with the aid of a child,
F in a frolic appear’d to be wild.
G was George Godfrey, a truant I fear,
H hand in hand, like two pillars appear.
I was an Indian figure for thee:
J was Jemima Mermaid, only see.
