The Copper Farthing.

Happy the boy, who dwells remote from School,

Whose pocket, or whose rattling-box, contains

A Copper Farthing! He nor grieving hears

Hot cheese-cakes cried, nor savoury mutton-pies;

But with his play mates, in the dusk of eve.

To well-known blacksmith’s shop, or church-yard hies;

Where, mindful of the sport that joys his heart,
