UPON A RING OF BELLS

Bells have wide mouths and tongues, but are too weak,

Have they not help, to sing, or talk or speak.

But if you move them they will mak't appear,

By speaking they'll make all the Town to hear.

When Ringers handle them with Art and Skill,

They then the ears of their Observers fill,

With such brave Notes, they ting and tang so well

As to out strip all with their ding, dong, Bell.
