time to play with you. 6 THE KITTENS. KITTENS, now Ill find names for you,Each from the thing it best can do :Velvet well call the one there asleep,Slyboots the kit who so softly can creep,Mouser the pussy who hunting doth seem,Lickdish the one with its nose in the cream. They grew to be cats, each nice little kit.Velvet all day on ones lap would sit;In the corn-loft Mouser a-hunting would go,While Slyboots crept through the barn below ;Lickdish went in the kitchen to dwell:If he was a plague, ask cook,—shell tell. 7 DOG AXD CAT. WHAT is it, Poodle ? What can you see, That you are barking so noisily? Is it that Pussy s sitting up there, And wont come down for your speeches fair? Well, I think she is in the right; If she came, you might chance to bite. Pussv, she sat so lonsr on the tree */ * Sleeping, as though a good dream had she;Poodle, he would no longer wait,But growling ran out at the garden gate;Then Pussy she woke up quickly indeed, And scamperd away with the utmost speed. 8

BOY AND SWAN. LISTEN, yon boy there among the trees,Just keep away from my children, please;And, sir, Ill beg you to drop that stone—I dont often speak in an angry tone;But youd best run off, or Ill make you feelWhat a sturdy blow my wing can deal. The cowardly boy ran off with speed,He feard the reward of his evil deed ;The swan pursued, to increase his fear,But soon came back to his children dear.To tend his young gave him far more joy,Than thus to run after each idle bov. • 9 c
