DUET—Christopher, Ulrica.
Chris. When a little farm we keep,
And have little girls and boys,
With little pigs and sheep,
To make a little noise——
Oh! what happy, merry days we'll see!
Ul. Then we'll keep a little maid,
And a little man beside;
And a little horse and pad,
To take a little ride,
With the children sitting on our knee.
Chris. The boys I'll conduct,
Ul. The girls I'll instruct;
Chris. In reading I'll engage,
Each son is not deficient;
Ul. In music I presage,
Each girl is a proficient.
Chris. Now, boy, your A, B, C!
Ul. Now, girl, your solfa!
[Ulrica is supposed to teach a girl to sing, and Christopher to teach a boy to read.]
