And as the night was cold,
And the way steep,
Mrs. Jones kept me to
Breakfast and sleep."

Whether her Pa and Ma
Fully believed her,
That we shall never know,
Stern they received her;
And for the work of that
Cruel, though short, night,
Sent her to bed without
Tea for a fortnight.

MORAL

Hey diddle diddlety,

Cat and the Fiddlety,

Maidens of England take caution by she!

Let love and suicide

Never tempt you aside,

And always remember to take the door-key.

THE PIMLICO PAVILION

E pathrons of janius, Minerva and Vanius,
Who sit on Parnassus, that mountain of snow,
Descind from your station and make observation
Of the Prince's pavilion in sweet Pimlico.

This garden, by jakurs, is forty poor acres,

(The garner he tould me, and sure ought to know;) And yet greatly bigger, in size and in figure,

Than the Phanix itself, seems the Park Pimlico.

O'tis there that the spoort is, when the Queen and the Court is

Walking magnanimous all of a row,

Forgetful what state is among the pataties

And the pine-apple gardens of sweet Pimlico.

There in blossoms odorous the birds sing a chorus, Of" God save the Queen" as they hop to and fro; And you sit on the binches and hark to the finches, Singing melodious in sweet Pimlico.

There shuiting their phanthasies, they pluck polyanthuses
That round in the gardens resplindently grow,

Wid roses and jessimins, and other sweet specimins,
Would charm bould Linnayus in sweet Pimlico.
