“An ounce, if you please, of the very
best tea,
Pray let its flavour be fine.”
“A pound and a half of butter for me,
And a bottle of currant wine.”

THE GROCER’S SHOP.

 

“My mother has sent for some treacle,”
says Jack,
‘Please put it into this jug.”
But when he is served he does not go
back.

But stands peeping into the mug.

 

Poor Janet has got little money to buy,
But she has some butter to sell,

So the grocer he takes her butter to try,
And gives baby a sweetie as well.
