Strana 176 - AT evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit; They sit at home and talk and sing, And do not play at anything. Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along the wall, And follow round the forest track Away behind the sofa back. There, in the night, where none can spy, All in my hunter's camp I lie, And play at books that I have read Till it is time to go to bed.
Strana 8 - Oranges and Lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's. You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's. When will you pay me ? •Say the bells of Old Bailey.
Strana 179 - WHEN I was sick and lay a-bed, I had two pillows at my head, And all my toys beside me lay To keep me happy all the day. And sometimes for an hour or so I watched my leaden soldiers go, With different uniforms and drills, Among the bed-clothes, through the hills. And sometimes sent my ships in fleets All up and down among the sheets; Or brought my trees and houses out, And planted cities all about.
Strana 12 - Lady Queen Anne, she sits in the sun, As fair as a lily, as brown as a bun,
Strana 32 - PETER Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper ; A peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked ; If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper, Where is the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked ? CLXXVIII.
Strana 20 - Round the Mulberry Bush Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush. Here we go 'round the mulberry bush So early in the morning.
Strana 177 - Good-night to all my friends on shore; I shut my eyes and sail away And see and hear no more. And sometimes things to bed I take, As prudent sailors have to do; Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake, Perhaps a toy or two. All night across the dark we steer; But when the day...
Strana 365 - Remember that I want to visit a great many other little boys after you are through with me. Besides, I may meet you again some day, and you would be sorry to see me- looking old and torn and soiled. Help me to keep fresh and clean, and I will help you to be happy.
Strana 22 - Nine ugly turkey -buzzards, eight screeching owls, seven green parrots, six long-legged cranes, five pouting pigeons, four plump partridges, three squawking wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hen.
Strana 365 - Please don't handle me with dirty hands. I should feel ashamed to be seen when the next little boy borrowed me. Or leave me out in the rain. Books can catch cold as well as children. Or make marks on me with your pen or pencil; it would spoil my looks. Or lean on me with your elbows when you are reading me. It hurts. Or open me and lay me face down upon the table.
