She wrung her hands and she tore her hair,

Till at length, as the dolls who were witnesses say,

She fell on the ground and she fainted away.

MORAL.

Now all you dolls, both little and big,

With china crown and with curling wig,

Before you give way to affection fond,

Remember the fate of Belinda Blonde;

And unless you wish to get terrible knocks,

Don't set your heart on a Jack-in-the-box.
