Much bread and such do they consume;

Of children they do seem the worst.

And Simon and I do disagree;

He’s prone to sin continuallee.

He horrors has, he oft doth kick,

He prances, yells,—he will not work.

Sometimes I think he is too sick;

Sometimes I think he tries to shirk.

But ’tis hard for her, in either case,

Who B. Bobbet was in happier days.
