LITTLE ONES AT HOME.

If you’ll step in one moment, dear,
You shall behold yourself.”
“T thank you, gentle sir,” she said,
“For what you’re pleased to say,
And bidding you good-morning now,
I'll call another day.”

   

The spider turned him round about,
And went into his den,

For well he knew the silly fly
Would soon be back again ;

So he wove a subtle web
In a little corner sly,

And set his table ready
To dine upon the fly.

He went out to his door again,
And merrily did sing,

“ Come hither, hither, pretty fly,

With pearl and silver wing ;

Your robes are green and purple,
There’s a crest upon your head ;

Your eyes are like the diamond bright,
But mine are dull as lead.”

Alas, alas! how very soon
This silly little fly,

Hearing his wily, flattering words,

Came slowly flitting by:

   

Songs.
