RICHARD'S REFORMATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Miss lucy was a charming child
Last Line: And since has better grown.
Subject(s): Boys; Punishment


MISS Lucy was a charming child,
She never said, "I won't";
If little Dick her playthings spoil'd,
She said, "Pray, Dicky, don't."

He took her waxen doll one day,
And bang'd it round and round;
Then tore its legs and arms away,
And threw them on the ground.

His good mamma was angry quite,
And Lucy's tears ran down;
But Dick went supperless that night,
And since has better grown.
