Here they are, sir, it you please, portraits
lumbering four.
Have n °hair, sir? Take your time; Hi
dowu and look them o'er.
Rognes with •saucy, merry oyes, o
brown and black and blue
And there's nn end of mischief, Hlr, th"
ci'wor rogues can do,
They steal our he'rts, and break the
roles of quiet and peas.;
Thep runlet round about tho bonne we
think will never 0000 • ;
They 0000 00 out of order with their
sweet, enticing woes,
And all with wild confu •fon tato world -bo
puaoefuldays.
Yes, only filar rogue-,, sir t but I would
have y' 0 know
They'll surely lose th^_ir ;stew :r'e ,, at
last they older grow,
Just now they work their mischief with
dimpled hands and feet,
With their little li ping tongs'es, and their
roguish faces sweet.
'J'Irey rob us of our ki too and of our love
BS well,
Steeling hearts and thoughts as truly.
and can we ever tell
IIew many eights of contort these rogues
have 401'n away,
llaw many anxious hour.i they've filled
lath eight and ,lay
If for their little shin I hold these rogues
in durance ilf',
Along comes dear old grandpa with his
-tinny, kindly smile,
and offers to go bail for my little prison-
ers four,
Demanding that I open the cruelprison
But thev aro captives now, sir,fast bound
with slumber'. ohsin,
No more to plot their mischief till the
daylight dawns again
Fou' little whito.robcd prisoners. Oh I
'tae hard indeed to sav
When to mother they aro dearest—sound
asleep or hard at play.
