Around about, [Sidenote: ☉☌⊕E3°26′.]
Around about,
The _Kobold_ played and in and out;
He peeped in every _Pot_ and _Pail_,
And grinned, and pulled the _Pussy’s_ tail.
Big clumsy _Gretchen_, washing up [Sidenote: _Clear, pleasant._]
The _Breakfast-dishes_, dropped a _Cup_;
It fell upon the _Kobold’s Toe_,
And made him hop it hurt him so.
