Rhymes for the Young Folk

AMBITION. Nick Spence , Nick Spence, Sold the Cow for sixpence! When his Master scolded him, Nicky didn't care. Put him in the farmyard, The stableyard, the stackyard, Send him to the pigsty, And Johnny to the fair! AMBITION. The Sea! as smooth as silk, And the froth of it like new milk, And the sky a wonderful blue, The cliff harebells have it too, And scatter'd all over the shore A thousand Children or more! Suppose we join, one-will'd, A City of Sand to build, With a rampart broad and strong From rock to rock along, Solid and firm enough To last till the sea grows rough And the days turn chilly and short, The end of our seaside sport, When all must bundle and pack And swift in the train go back, Big folk and little folk, To London lamps and smoke? Let's draw out our plan to-night, Begin it with morning light. We'll bring all the Children together And build in the sweet sunny weather. What use in a House of Sand? But a City—that would be grand! O yes, I am sure it will stand! And I, who first thought of the thing, Perhaps they will make me King? THE BALL. All men, black, brown, red, yellow, white Are brethren in their Father's sight. To do each other good is right, But not to wrangle, steal, or fight. A thousand millions, young and old, Some in the heat, some in the cold, Upon this Ball of Earth are roll'd Around the Sun's great flame of gold. And this great Sun is like indeed One daisy in a daisied mead; For God's power doth all thought exceed. And of us also He takes heed. RIDING. His Lordship's Steed Of a noble breed Is trotting it fleetly, fleetly, Her Ladyship's pony, Sleek and bonny, Cantering neatly, neatly. How shall they pass The Turf-Cadger's Ass, Creels and all, creels and all? Man on him bumping, Shouting and thumping, Heels and all, heels and all! Lane is not wide, A hedge on each side, The Ass is beginning to bray; "Now," says my Lord, With an angry word, "Fellow, get out of the way!" "Ha!" says the Cadger, As bold as a badger, "This way is my way too!" Says the Lady mild, And sweetly smiled, "My Friend, that's perfectly true." The Cadger look'd round, Then jump'd to the ground, And into the hedge pull'd Neddy. "O thank you!" says she, "Ax pardon!" says he, And touch'd his old hat to the Lady. His Lordship's Steed Of a noble breed Went trotting it fleetly, fleetly, Her Ladyship's pony, Sleek and bonny Cantering neatly, neatly. The Cadger he rode As well as he could, Heels and all, heels and all, Jolting and bumping, Shouting and thumping, Creels and all, creels and all. TOM CRICKET. Tom Cricket he sat in his hole in the wall, Close to the kitchen fire, Up and down ran the Cockroaches all, Red coats and black coats, great and small; "Ho, Tom! our hearts are set on a ball, And your music we desire!" Tom sat in his hole, his horns hung out, He play'd away on his fiddle; The Cockroaches danced in a rabble rout, Scrambling and scurrying all about, Tho' they had their own steps and figures no doubt, Hands across, and down the middle. Till, "Stay!" says a Fat One,—"We're no Elves, To dance all night without stopping! Now for supper!" They help'd themselves, For the servants were gone to bed; on shelves And tables they quested by tens and twelves, And quick to the floor kept dropping. As a Cockroach ran by, says Tom Cricket to him, "Fetch me up a piece of potato, Good Sir!—to mix in the crowd I'm too slim." Says Jack Cockroach, "I see you are proud and prim; To eat alone is merely your whim,— Which I never will give way to!" "Come down," says he, "and look out for your share!" "I won't do that," says Tom Cricket. And when for another dance they care, And call upon Tom for a lively air, They find he has drawn himself back in his lair. "How shameful," they cry, "How wicked!" "Let's fill up the mouth of his cave with soot, Because he's behaved so badly!" They ran up and down the wall to do't; But ere half-done—a dreadful salute! In came the Cook, and the Scullion to boot, And off they all scampered madly. THE YEAR OF HARDSHIPS. January , Bitter, very! February damp, Sir; March blows On April's nose, May has caught the cramp, Sir; June, Without a sun or moon! July, August, Many a raw gust; September, October, November, December, Ten times worse than I ever remember. No apples, or hay, or honey, or corn; I'm sure it wasn't a fat year. Whenever you and I were born, Good-luck it wasn't in that year! A RIDDLE. What I say you'll scarce believe, Yet my words shall not deceive. I saw what seem'd a little Boy, With a face of life and joy; He danced, he ran, he nodded, he smiled, Just like any other Child; But could not speak, (how strange was this!) Or cry, or breathe, nor could I kiss, To save my life, the cherry red Of lips, not living and not dead! He was no picture, statue, doll; He was not a Child at all; He was Nothing, as near as could be, He was as real as you or me. —There he is: turn and see! Illustrated, Fine Art, and other Volumes.
