And can't I do it too? Well, I should Smile!

But how I ramble on. I must dismiss

Dull Sloth, and set to Work at once, I wis;

I sometimes think there's nothing quite so hard

As a Beginning. Say we start like this:

Indeed, indeed my apron oft before

I tore, but was I naughty when I tore?

And then, and then came Ma, and thread in hand

Repaired the rent in my small pinafore.
