The bear runs away, the
Lamb is pursuing;
If he catches the bear,
There'll be terrible doing.
To see an eagle spread her wings, is no news;
But to see an old man in leading strings, is strange indeed!
Take care, grandpapa, lest
You should fall,
And if you want your
Chair—pray call.
To see a weaver throw his shuttle, is no news;
But to see a man get in a quart bottle, is strange indeed!
You'll all be amazed to
See me get in,
And much more surprised
If I get out again.
