Hh.Horror,
Terror, Dread.
This little harmless speckled frog
Seems Lady Townsend’s dread:
I fear she’ll run away and cry,
And hide her silly head.

Ii. Jj. ICHABOD AT THE JAM.
Ichabod, a Christian Name.
Jam, a Conserve of Fruits.
Enough is good, excess is bad:
Yet Ichabod you see,
Will with the jam his stomach cram,
Until they disagree.

Kk.Knowing,
Conscious, Intelligent.
Tho’ horses know both beans and corn,
And snuff them in the wind;
They also all know Jemmy Small,
And what he holds behind.

Ll.Lucky,
Fortunate, Happy by Chance.
We must admire, in Lovebook’s case.
The prompt decision made:
As he could not have gained the wood
If time had been delayed.

Mm.Mimic,
Imitative, Burlesque.
The Gentleman, who struts so fine,
Unconscious seems to be
Of Imitation by the boy
Who has the street-door key.

Nn.Negligence,
Heedlessness, Carelessness.
The character Tom Slowboy bears
Would much against him tell—
For any work that’s wanted done,
Or even play done well.

Oo.Obstinacy,
Stubbornness, Waywardness.
The obstinacy of the pig
Is nature—as you see:
But boys and girls who have a mind
Should never stubborn be.

Pp.Pets,
Favourites, Spoilt Fondlings.
Some people say that Aunty Gray
To animals is kind;
We think, instead, they are over fed,
And kept too much confined.

Dame Partlet’s in difficulty
And looks around with doubt:
Let’s hope, as she some way got in,
She may some way get out.

Rr.Rivalry,
Competition, Emulation.
In every competition prize
This should be kept in view—
Whoever wins should be the one
Who does deserve it, too.
