 HANDY spandy, Jacky Dandy, 
 Loves plum-cake and sugar-candy, 
 He bought some at the Grocer's shop. 
 And plea**d # away went hup, hop, hop.

 He was a nimble, active fellow, 
 Merry as any Punchinello, 
 And did the part of Harlequin ; 
 Here do but look, lie's just come in.

 Good Mr. Harl, Instruct me, pray, 
 How I inav be a pretty bar, 
 Says Harlequin, 11.1 grant your suit ; 
 Learn to be good, and that will do't 
 
 For all good boys are very pretty 
 Belov'd by Moll}', sue, and Betty, 
 I thank y*ui, Mr. Harlequin : 
 Then to be good I will begin. 
 
 The little p:ood boy, 
 That will not tell a He, 
 
 Shall have a plum-pudding 
 Or hot apple-pie* 
 
 But be that is naughty, 
 and tells, a false tale.

 Will deserve nothing eUe 
 But the whip to his tail 
 
 nd ought 
 
 Lying is a bad faculty, 
 always to be discouraged as much as 
 possible ; and indeed it seldom goes 
 without its deserved punishment

 V\\ tell you a story of a naughty 
 boy. One day little Billy Froward 
 went a bird-catching with Tommy 
 Telltruth, and they agreed, at tha 
 first setting out, to be partners in 
 there success* While Tommy's back 
 was turned Billy caught a fine lionet* 
 
 This bird he contrived to hide from 
 his companion, and when they parted 
 
8 
 
 what they had token, Billy told .-t 
 great many lies about this bird : in 
 which however, he was soon de- 
 tected. His papa came to hear of it,, 
 and was ro angry with him as to send 
 him to bed without his supper, and 
 whipped him in the bargain ; for by

 this single act, Billy was a liar and a 
 cheat, iVor was this ail ; there was 
 a collection of wild beasts in the 
 town, which Billy was not suffered 
 to see. 1 he first was the Lion. 
 
9 
 
 This is the Lion 
 
 That never would vield, 
 Behold how he ranges, 
 
 The king of the field. 
 
 He is called the king of beasts; 
 and though he his so very powerful, 
 it is said he is of a generous nature, 
 which makes every one admire his 
 character. The next was the Wolf. 
 
10 
 
 This is the Wolf 
 
 That prowls through the wood, 
 Who preys upon Iambs, 
 
 And drinks of their blood. 
 
 He is a savage beast, and very dif- 
 ferent from the lion in disposition. 
 Fie comes down from the mountains 
 and forests, and devours everv thin* 
 that conies in his way. 
 
 
11 
 
 The Monkey, mischievous, 
 Like a naughty boy looks, 
 
 Who plagues all his friends, 
 And don't mind his hooks.

 The monkey is a native of warm 
 countries, and an useless beast in this 
 part of the world, so I shall leave him 
 to speak of another that is more 
 bulky, and comes from cold climates. 
 I mean the Bear. 
 
19 
 
 This is the Bear, 
 
 In Greenland was bred, 
 And brought over here. 
 
 Through the streets to be led.

 See his rough shaggy hair, and 
 observe his paws : they resemble the 
 hands and feet of a man. I have 
 nothing to object to his character. 
 We sav, indeed, as rude as a Bear. — 
 Now for the feathered race. The 
 first is Robin Redbreast. 
 
13 
 
 He cocks up its tail, 
 While hopping along , 
 
 And pays for his crumbs 
 With an innocent song.

 He comes to see you more particu- 
 larly in cold frosty weather, and no- 
 body will hurt poor Bobby, because 
 he puts confidence in tho.se that he 
 visits*

 Though she is of an active disposi- 
 tion, I never heard that she was a 
 tale-bearer or a slanderer. And I 
 believe she has only one enemy ; in 
 short, her enemy is the common ene- 
 my of all little innocent birds,

 This is the Kite, 
 
 When searching for food, 
 Kills Bo!) and his \vife, 
 
 And all the young" brood.

 His very figure is terrible. The 
 Kite is a cruel bird, and like a co- 
 ward, attacks none but those who are 
 much weaker than himself.

 fails in the morning to tell him the 
 day approaches, and that he must 
 rise to his lawful employment.
