Babies in your eyes, see Note to p. [17].
298. VIRTUE.
Each must in virtue strive for to excel;
That man lives twice that lives the first life well.
299. THE BELLMAN.
From noise of scare-fires rest ye free,
From murders Benedicite.
From all mischances that may fright
Your pleasing slumbers in the night,
Mercy secure ye all, and keep
The goblin from ye while ye sleep.
Past one o'clock, and almost two!
My masters all, good-day to you.
Scare-fires, alarms of fire.
300. BASHFULNESS.
Of all our parts, the eyes express
The sweetest kind of bashfulness.
