THE LITTLE GIRL THAT BEAT HER SISTER.

Go, go, my naughty girl, and kiss

Your little sister dear;

I must not have such things as this,

Nor noisy quarrels hear.

What! little children scold and fight,

That ought to be so mild;

O Mary, 'tis a shocking sight

To see an angry child.

I can't imagine, for my part,

The reason of your folly:

As if she did you any hurt,

By playing with your dolly!

See, how the little tears do run

Fast from her watery eye;

Come, my sweet innocent, have done,

'Twill do no good to cry.

Go, Mary, wipe her tears away,

And make it up with kisses;

And never turn a pretty play

To such a pet as this is.
