Sloth makes all things difficult; but Industry, all easy; and he that
rises late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at
night; while Laziness travels so slowly that Poverty soon overtakes him.
—_Benjamin Franklin._
[Illustration]
The year’s at the Spring,
The day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hillside’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven—
All’s right with the world!
—_Robert Browning._
_Humpty Dumpty._
[Illustration]
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
Threescore men and threescore more
Cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.
_Hot-Cross Buns!_
Hot-cross buns!
Hot-cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot-cross buns!
Hot-cross buns!
Hot-cross buns!
If ye have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
