COME hither, little puppy dog,

I'll give you a new collar,

If you will learn to read your book,
And be a clever scholar.

No, no! replied the puppy dog,

I've other fish to fry;

For I must learn to guard your house, And bark when thieves come nigh. With a tingle, tangle, titmouse!

Robin knows great A,

And B, and C, and D, and E,
F, G, H, I, J, K.

Come hither, little pussy cat,

If you'll your grammar study, I'll give you silver clogs to wear Whene'er the gutter's muddy. No! whilst I grammar learn, says puss, Your house will in a trice

Be overrun, from top to bottom,

With flocks of rats and mice.

With a tingle, tangle, titmouse!
Robin knows great A,

And B, and C, and D, and E,
F, G, H, I, J, K.

Come hither, then, good little boy, And learn your alphabet, And you a pair of boots and spurs, Like your papa's, shall get. O yes! I'll learn my alphabet; And when I well can read, Perhaps papa will give me, too, A pretty long-tail'd steed. With a tingle, tangle, titmouse! Robin knows great A, And B, and C, and D, and E,

F, G, H, I, J, K.

29.

WHO is that I heard call?

Little Sam in the hall.

What does he do there?
He ask'd for some fruit.
For some fruit did he ask?
Can he yet read his book?
He can't read it yet.

Then he shan't have a bit:
But pray give him a bite
When he says his task right;
And till that is well done,

Take you care he has none.
