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 here.

What! little children scold and fight,

That ought to be so mild:

Oh! 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, see the little tears that run

So quickly from her 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.
