Therefore, accustomed to the end To plying useful stitches, I 'll be content if asked to mend The little angels
Page 47 - Now cast your nets wherever you wish — • Never afeard are we"; So cried the stars to the fishermen three; Wynken, Blynken, And Nod.

Page 1 - Tis a marvel of great renown! It blooms on the shore of the Lollypop sea In the garden of Shut-Eye Town; The fruit that it bears is so wondrously sweet (As those who have tasted it say) That good little children have only to eat Of that fruit to be happy next day.
