At night, when Philip went to bed,
He kiss'd mamma, and whisp'ring said,
"My dear mamma, I never will
Make any noise when you are ill."


THE MODELS

As Dick and Bryan were at play
At trap, it came to pass
Dick struck the ball, and far away,
He broke a pane of glass.

Though much alarmed, 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.
