XXV. Honour.

As Dick and Bryan were at play

At trap, it came to pass,

Dick struck the ball so far away,

He broke a pane of glass.

Though much alarm'd, they did not run,

But walk'd up to the spot;

And offer'd for the damage done;

What money they had got.

When accidents like this arise,

Dear children! this rely on,

All honest, honourable boys

Will act like Dick and Bryan.
