# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Blatant Brutality of Little Bow Peep

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
Though she was only a shepherdess,  Tending the meekest of sheep, Never was African leopardess  Crosser than Little Bow Peep: Quite apathetic, impassible  People described her as: “That Wayward, contentious, irascible,  Testy, cantankerous brat!”
Yet, as she dozed in a grotto-like  Sort of kind of a nook, She was charmingly Watteau-like,  What with her sheep and her crook; “She is a dryad or nymph,” any  Casual passer would think. Poets pronounced her a symphony,  All in the palest of pink.
Thus it was not enigmatical,  That the young shepherd who first Found her asleep, in ecstatical  Sighs of felicity burst: Such was his sudden beatitude  That, as he gazed at her so, Daphnis gave vent to this platitude:  “My! Ain’t she elegant though!”
Roused from some dream of Arcadia,  Little Bow Peep with a start Answered him: “I ain’t afraid o’ yer!  P’raps you imagine you’re smart!” Daphnis protested impulsively,  Blushing as red as a rose; All was in vain. She convulsively  Punched the young man in the nose!
All of it’s true, every word of it!  I was not present to peep, But if you ask how I heard of it,  Please to remember the sheep. There is no need of excuse. You will  See how such scandals occur: If you recall Mother Goose, you will  Know what tail-bearers they were!
Moral: This pair irreclaimable  Might have made Seraphim weep, But who can pick the most blamable?  Both saw a little beau peep!

# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Commendable Castigation of Old Mother Hubbard

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
She was one of those creatures  Whose features  Are hard beyond any reclaim; And she loved in a hovel  To grovel,  And she hadn’t a cent to her name. She owned neither gallants  Nor talents;  She borrowed extensively, too, From all of her dozens  Of cousins,  And never refunded a sou: Yet all they said in abuse of her Was: “She is prouder than Lucifer!”  (That, I must say, without meaning to blame,  Is always the way with that kind of a dame!)
There never was jolli-  Er colley  Than Old Mother Hubbard had found, Though cheaply she bought him,  She’d taught him  To follow her meekly around: But though she would lick him  And kick him,  It never had any effect; He always was howling  And growling,  But goodness! What could you expect? Colleys were never to flourish meant ’Less they had plenty of nourishment,  All that he had were the feathers she’d pluck  Off an occasional chicken or duck.
The colley was barred in  The garden,  He howled and he wailed and he whined. The neighbors indignant,  Malignant  Petitions unanimous signed. “The nuisance grows nightly,”  Politely  They wrote. “It’s an odious hound, And either you’ll fill him,  Or kill him,  Or else he must go to the pound. For if this howling infernally Is to continue nocturnally—  Pardon us, ma’am, if we seem to be curt—  Somebody’s apt to get horribly hurt!”
Mother Hubbard cried loudly  And proudly:  “Lands sakes! But you give yourselves airs! I’ll take the law to you  And sue you.”  The neighbors responded: “Who cares? We none of us care if  The sheriff  Lock every man jack of us up; We won’t be repining  At fining  So long as we’re rid of the pup!”
They then proceeded to mount a sign, Bearing this ominous countersign:  “Freemen! The moment has come to protest  And Old Mother Hubbard delendum est!”
They marched to her gateway,  And straightway  They trampled all over her lawn; Most rudely they harried  And carried  Her round on a rail until dawn. They marred her, and jarred her,  And tarred her  And feathered her, just as they should, Of speech they bereft her,  And left her  With: “Now do you think you’ll be good!”
The moral’s a charmingly pleasing one. While we would deprecate teasing one, Still, when a dame has politeness rebuffed, She certainly ought to be collared and cuffed.
# Mother Goose for Grownups/The Embarrassing Episode of Little Miss Muffet

This poem was published in Carryl’s 1900 anthology Mother Goose for Grownups, of poems that are parodies of Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
Little Miss Muffet discovered a tuffet,  (Which never occurred to the rest of us) And, as ’twas a June day, and just about noonday,  She wanted to eat—like the best of us: Her diet was whey, and I hasten to say  It is wholesome and people grow fat on it. The spot being lonely, the lady not only  Discovered the tuffet, but sat on it.
A rivulet gabbled beside her and babbled,  As rivulets always are thought to do, And dragon-flies sported around and cavorted,  As poets say dragon-flies ought to do; When, glancing aside for a moment, she spied  A horrible sight that brought fear to her, A hideous spider was sitting beside her  And most unavoidably near to her!
Albeit unsightly, this creature politely  Said: “Madam, I earnestly vow to you, I’m penitent that I did not bring my hat. I  Should otherwise certainly bow to you.” Though anxious to please, he was so ill at ease  That he lost all his sense of propriety, And grew so inept that he clumsily stept  In her plate—which is barred in Society.
This curious error completed her terror;  She shuddered, and growing much paler, not Only left tuffet, but dealt him a buffet  Which doubled him up in a sailor-knot. It should be explained that at this he was pained:  He cried: “I have vexed you, no doubt of it! Your fist’s like a truncheon.” “You’re still in my luncheon,”  Was all that she answered. “Get out of it!”
And The moral is this: Be it madam or miss  To whom you have something to say, You are only absurd when you get in the curd  But you’re rude when you get in the whey.

Chapter 17.—Other Advantages of the Incarnation.
22. There are many other things also in the incarnation of Christ, displeasing as it is to the proud, that are to be observed and thought of advantageously. And one of them is, that it has been demonstrated to man what place he has in the things which God has created; since human nature could so be joined to God, that one person could be made of two substances, and thereby indeed of three—God, soul, and flesh: so that those proud malignant spirits, who interpose themselves as mediators to deceive, although as if to help, do not therefore dare to place themselves above man because they have not flesh; and chiefly because the Son of God deigned to die also in the same flesh, lest they, because they seem to be immortal, should therefore succeed in getting themselves worshipped as gods. Further, that the grace of God might be commended to us in the man Christ without any precedent merits; because not even He Himself obtained by any precedent merits that He should be joined in such great unity with the true God, and should become the Son of God, one Person with Him; but from the time when He began to be man, from that time He is also God; whence it is said, “The Word was made flesh.” Then, again, there is this, that the pride of man, which is the chief hindrance against his cleaving to God, can be confuted and healed through such great humility of God. Man learns also how far he has gone away from God; and what it is worth to him as a pain to cure him, when he returns through such a Mediator, who both as God assists men by His divinity, and as man agrees with men by His weakness. For what greater example of obedience could be given to us, who had perished through disobedience, than God the Son obedient to God the Father, even to the death of the cross? Nay, wherein could the reward of obedience itself be better shown, than in the flesh of so great a Mediator, which rose again to eternal life? It belonged also to the justice and goodness of the Creator, that the devil should be conquered by the same rational creature which he rejoiced to have conquered, and by one that came from that same race which, by the corruption of its origin through one, he held altogether.

Chapter 5.—Of the Same Thing.
8. Or is, perhaps, the deliverance from our difficulties to be found in this, that, since we have said that every one places his idea of a blessed life in that which has most pleased him, as pleasure pleased Epicurus, and goodness Zeno, and something else pleased other people, we say that to live blessedly is nothing else but to live according to one’s own pleasure: so that it is not false that all will to live blessedly, because all will that which pleases each? For if this, too, had been proclaimed to the people in the theatre, all would have found it in their own wills. But when Cicero, too, had propounded this in opposition to himself, he so refuted it as to make them blush who thought so. For he says: “But, behold! people who are not indeed philosophers, but who yet are prompt to dispute, say that all are blessed, whoever live as they will;” which is what we mean by, as pleases each. But by and by he has subjoined: “But this is indeed false. For to will what is not fitting, is itself most miserable; neither is it so miserable not to obtain what one wills, as to will to obtain what one ought not.” Most excellently and altogether most truly does he speak. For who can be so blind in his mind, so alienated from all light of decency, and wrapped up in the darkness of indecency, as to call him blessed, because he lives as he will, who lives wickedly and disgracefully; and with no one restraining him, no one punishing, and no one daring even to blame him, nay more, too, with most people praising him, since, as divine Scripture says, “The wicked is praised in his heart’s desire: and he who works iniquity is blessed,” gratifies all his most criminal and flagitious desires; when, doubtless, although even so he would be wretched, yet he would be less wretched, if he could have had nothing of those things which he had wrongly willed? For every one is made wretched by a wicked will also, even though it stop short with will but more wretched by the power by which the longing of a wicked will is fulfilled. And, therefore, since it is true that all men will to be blessed, and that they seek for this one thing with the most ardent love, and on account of this seek everything which they do seek; nor can any one love that of which he does not know at all what or of what sort it is, nor can be ignorant what that is which he knows that he wills; it follows that all know a blessed life. But all that are blessed have what they will, although not all who have what they will are forewith blessed. But they are forewith wretched, who either have not what they will, or have that which they do not rightly will. Therefore he only is a blessed man, who both has all things which he wills, and wills nothing ill.
