I. The New Book.

A neat little Book, full of pictures was bought

For a good little girl that was glad to be taught;

She read all the tales, and then said to her mother,

I'll lend this new book to my dear little brother.

He shall look at the pictures and find O and I,

I'm sure he won't tear it he's such a good boy.

Oh no, brother Henry knows better, indeed;

Although he's too young, yet, to spell and to read.
