For gentleness renowned was he;
She, better known for strife.

Miss Cross has tried to reach the grapes,
She's tried and tried again--
And now she's vexed to think that all
Her efforts are in vain.

| ZANY, |
|_A Buffoon, a Merry Andrew_.|

Here's Zany reading in a book--
With heels above his head--
And, judging by his laughing look,
Finds fun in what he's read.
