BOYS oftentimes are rough and rude, And join in wicked play; But hoop and top, and bat and ball, Are better any day. "Hark! hark! I hear a tinkling bell; It calleth me to school." Run, run! my boy, and study well; Keep strictly every rule. |

CAREFUL be of poor old puss, She catcheth all the mice: If any rat appears in sight, She chases in a trice. And then she comes and sits her down, And washes all her fur; How kind and loving doth she look— How pleasant doth she purr. |

DOGS are so faithful, kind, and true, We ought to treat them well; My little Johnny had a dog, Of which I wish to tell. Now little John was at his play Beside the river's brink— Plash! in he fell! Good Rover ran, And would not let him sink. |
