LONDON BELLS.
Two sticks and an Apple, Ring the bells at White-chapel; Old father bald pate, Ring the bells at Aldgate; Maids in white aprons, Ring the Bells at St Catherines; Oranges and lemons, Ring the bells at St Clements; When will pay me; Ring the bells at Old Bailey;
When I am rich, Ring the bells at Fleetditch; When will that be? Ring the bells at Stepney; When I am old, Ring the bells at St Pauls.

# Tommy Thumb's Song Book (1815)/Artificial Memory for Infants

ARTIFICIAL MEMORY
FOR
INFANTS;
WHEREBY
They may Acquire
THE
KNOWLEDGE OF ANIMALS,
AND
Some of their Sounds,
BEFORE
They can go or speak.
Although this invention is calculated for the diversion of infants, yet it will afford great pleasure to the Parent and Nurse, to observe the progress, and surprising difference in the early sense of their children.
The method I propose, is that you first shew the child the following animals, one at a time, and pronounce its sound, as for example.
Ask which is the DOG? then point to it, then ask what the DOG says, then say,
BOW, WOW, WOW.
and so on to the rest, by which means, the child in a short time, will be able to do the same.
Tommy Thumb's Song-Book.
Bow, wow, wow.

PENNY A-DAY

# Tirukural/Chapter 67

661 What men call 'power in action' know for 'power of mind' Externe to man all other aids you find.
Firmness in action is (simply) one's firmness of mind; all other (abilities) are not of this nature.
662 'Each hindrance shun', 'unyielding onward press, If obstacle be there,' These two define your way, so those that search out truth declare.
Not to perform a ruinous act, and not to be discouraged by the ruinous termination of an act, are the two maxims which, the wise say, from the principles of those who have investigated the subject.
663 Man's fitting work is known but by success achieved; In midst the plan revealed brings ruin ne'er to be retrieved.
So to perform an act as to publish it (only) at its termination is (true) manliness; for to announce it beforehand, will cause irremediable sorrow.
664 Easy to every man the speech that shows the way; Hard thing to shape one's life by words they say!.
To say (how an act is to be performed) is (indeed) easy for any one; but far difficult it is to do according to what has been said.
665 The power in act of men renowned and great, With king acceptance finds and fame through all the state.
The firmness in action of those who have become great by the excellence (of their counsel) will, by attaining its fulfilment in the person of the king, be esteemed (by all).
666 Whate'er men think, ev'n as they think, may men obtain, If those who think can steadfastness of will retain.
If those who have planned (an undertaking) possess firmness (in executing it) they will obtain what they have desired even as they have desired it.
667 Despise not men of modest bearing; Look not at form, but what men are: For some there live, high functions sharing, Like linch-pin of the mighty car!.
Let none be despised for (their) size; (for) the world has those who resemble the linch-pin of the big rolling car.
668 What clearly eye discerns as right, with steadfast will, And mind unslumbering, that should man fulfil.
An act that has been firmly resolved on must be as firmly carried out without delay.
669 Though toil and trouble face thee, firm resolve hold fast, And do the deeds that pleasure yield at last.
Though it should cause increasing sorrow (at the outset), do with firmness the act that yield bliss (in the end).
670 The world desires not men of every power possessed, Who power in act desire not,- crown of all the rest.
The great will not esteem those who esteem not firmness of action, whatever other abilities the latter may possess.
# Tirukural/Chapter 7

Kural-61 Of all that men acquire, we know not any greater gain, Than that which by the birth of learned children men obtain. Among all the benefits that may be acquired, we know no greater benefit than the acquisition of intelligent children.
Kural-62 Who children gain, that none reproach, of virtuous worth, No evils touch them, through the sev'n-fold maze of birth. The evils of the seven births shall not touch those who abtain children of a good disposition, free from vice.
Kural-63 'Man's children are his fortune,' say the wise; From each one's deeds his varied fortunes rise. Men will call their sons their wealth, because it flows to them through the deeds which they (sons) perform on their behalf.
Kural-64 Than God's ambrosia sweeter far the food before men laid, In which the little hands of children of their own have play'd. The rice in which the little hand of their children has dabbled will be far sweeter (to the parent) than ambrosia.
Kural-65 To patent sweet the touch of children dear; Their voice is sweetest music to his ear. The touch of children gives pleasure to the body, and the hearing of their words, pleasure to the ear.
Kural-66 'The pipe is sweet,' 'the lute is sweet,' by them't will be averred, Who music of their infants' lisping lips have never heard. "The pipe is sweet, the lute is sweet," say those who have not heard the prattle of their own children.
Kural-67 Sire greatest boon on son confers, who makes him meet, In councils of the wise to fill the highest seat. The benefit which a father should confer on his son is to give him precedence in the assembly of the learned.
Kural-68 Their children's wisdom greater than their own confessed, Through the wide world is sweet to every human breast. That their children should possess knowledge is more pleasing to all men of this great earth than to themselves.
Kural-69 When mother hears him named 'fulfill'd of wisdom's lore,' Far greater joy she feels, than when her son she bore. The mother who hears her son called "a wise man" will rejoice more than she did at his birth.
Kural-70 To sire, what best requital can by grateful child be done? To make men say, 'What merit gained the father such a son?' (So to act) that it may be said "by what great penance did his father beget him," is the benefit which a son should render to his father.
# Tirukural/Chapter 8

Kural-71 And is there bar that can even love restrain? The tiny tear shall make the lover's secret plain. Is there any fastening that can shut in love ? Tears of the affectionate will publish the love that is within.
Kural-72 The loveless to themselves belong alone; The loving men are others' to the very bone. Those who are destitute of love appropriate all they have to themselves; but those who possess love consider even their bones to belong to others.
Kural-73 Of precious soul with body's flesh and bone, The union yields one fruit, the life of love alone. They say that the union of soul and body in man is the fruit of the union of love and virtue (in a former birth).
Kural-74 From love fond yearning springs for union sweet of minds; And that the bond of rare excelling friendship binds. Love begets desire: and that (desire) begets the immeasureable excellence of friendship.
Kural-75 Sweetness on earth and rarest bliss above, These are the fruits of tranquil life of love. They say that the felicity which those who, after enjoying the pleasure (of the conjugal state) in this world, obtain in heaven is the result of their domestic state imbued with love.
Kural-76 The unwise deem love virtue only can sustain, It also helps the man who evil would restrain. The ignorant say that love is an ally to virtue only, but it is also a help to get out of vice.
Kural-77 As sun's fierce ray dries up the boneless things, So loveless beings virtue's power to nothing brings. Virtue will burn up the soul which is without love, even as the sun burns up the creature which is without bone, i.e. worms.
Kural-78 The loveless soul, the very joys of life may know, When flowers, in barren soil, on sapless trees, shall blow. The domestic state of that man whose mind is without love is like the flourishing of a withered tree upon the parched desert.
Kural-79 Though every outward part complete, the body's fitly framed; What good, when soul within, of love devoid, lies halt and maimed? Of what avail are all the external members (of the body) to those who are destitute of love, the internal member.
Kural-80 Bodies of loveless men are bony framework clad with skin; Then is the body seat of life, when love resides within. That body alone which is inspired with love contains a living soul: if void of it, (the body) is bone overlaid with skin.
# Tirukural/Chapter 64

631 A minister is he who grasps, with wisdom large, Means, time, work's mode, and functions rare he must discharge.
The minister is one who can make an excellent choice of means, time, manner of execution, and the difficult undertaking (itself).
632 A minister must greatness own of guardian power, determined mind, Learn'd wisdom, manly effort with the former five combined.
The minister is one who in addition to the aforesaid five things excels in the possession of firmness, protection of subjects, clearness by learning, and perseverance.
633 A minister is he whose power can foes divide, Attach more firmly friends, of severed ones can heal the breaches wide.
The minister is one who can effect discord (among foes), maintain the good-will of his friends and restore to friendship those who have seceded (from him).
634 A minister has power to see the methods help afford, To ponder long, then utter calm conclusive word.
The minister is one who is able to comprehend (the whole nature of an undertaking), execute it in the best manner possible, and offer assuring advice (in time of necessity).
635 The man who virtue knows, has use of wise and pleasant words. With plans for every season apt, in counsel aid affords.
He is the best helper (of the king) who understanding the duties, of the latter, is by his special learning, able to tender the fullest advice, and at all times conversant with the best method (of performing actions).
636 When native subtilty combines with sound scholastic lore, 'Tis subtilty surpassing all, which nothing stands before.
What (contrivances) are there so acute as to resist those who possess natural acuteness in addition to learning ?.
637 Though knowing all that books can teach, 'tis truest tact To follow common sense of men in act.
Though you are acquainted with the (theoretical) methods (of performing an act), understand the ways of the world and act accordingly.
638 'Tis duty of the man in place aloud to say The very truth, though unwise king may cast his words away.
Although the king be utterly ignorant, it is the duty of the minister to give (him) sound advice.
639 A minister who by king's side plots evil things Worse woes than countless foemen brings.
Far better are seventy crores of enemies (for a king) than a minister at his side who intends (his) ruin.
640 For gain of end desired just counsel nought avails To minister, when tact in execution fails.
Those ministers who are destitute of (executive) ability will fail to carry out their projects, although they may have contrived aright.
# Tirukural/Chapter 65

641 A tongue that rightly speaks the right is greatest gain, It stands alone midst goodly things that men obtain.
The possession of that goodness which is called the goodness of speech is (even to others) better than any other goodness.
642 Since gain and loss in life on speech depend, From careless slip in speech thyself defend.
Since (both) wealth and evil result from (their) speech, ministers should most carefully guard themselves against faultiness therein.
643 'Tis speech that spell-bound holds the listening ear, While those who have not heard desire to hear.
The (minister's) speech is that which seeks (to express) elements as bind his friends (to himself) and is so delivered as to make even his enemies desire (his friendship).
644 Speak words adapted well to various hearers' state; No higher virtue lives, no gain more surely great.
Understand the qualities (of your hearers) and (then) make your speech; for superior to it, there is neither virtue nor wealth.
645 Speak out your speech, when once 'tis past dispute That none can utter speech that shall your speech refute.
Deliver your speech, after assuring yourself that no counter speech can defeat your own.
646 Charming each hearer's ear, of others' words to seize the sense, Is method wise of men of spotless excellence.
It is the opinion of those who are free from defects in diplomacy that the minister should speak so as to make his hearers desire (to hear more) and grasp the meaning of what he hears himself.
647 Mighty in word, of unforgetful mind, of fearless speech, 'Tis hard for hostile power such man to overreach.
It is impossible for any one to conquer him by intrique who possesses power of speech, and is neither faulty nor timid.
648 Swiftly the listening world will gather round, When men of mighty speech the weighty theme propound.
If there be those who can speak on various subjects in their proper order and in a pleasing manner, the world would readily accept them.
649 Who have not skill ten faultless words to utter plain, Their tongues will itch with thousand words man's ears to pain.
They will desire to utter many words, who do not know how to speak a few faultless ones.
650 Like scentless flower in blooming garland bound Are men who can't their lore acquired to other's ears expound.
Those who are unable to set forth their acquirements (before others) are like flowers blossoming in a cluster and yet without fragrance.
# Tirukural/Chapter 66

651 The good external help confers is worldly gain; By action good men every needed gift obtain.
The efficacy of support will yield (only) wealth; (but) the efficacy of action will yield all that is desired.
652 From action evermore thyself restrain Of glory and of good that yields no gain.
Ministers should at all times avoid acts which, in addition to fame, yield no benefit (for the future).
653 Who tell themselves that nobler things shall yet be won All deeds that dim the light of glory must they shun.
Those who say, "we will become (better)" should avoid the performance of acts that would destroy (their fame).
654 Though troubles press, no shameful deed they do, Whose eyes the ever-during vision view.
Those who have infallible judgement though threatened with peril will not do acts which have brought disgrace (on former ministers).
655 Do nought that soul repenting must deplore, If thou hast sinned, 'tis well if thou dost sin no more.
Let a minister never do acts of which he would have to grieve saying, "what is this I have done"; (but) should he do (them), it were good that he grieved not.
656 Though her that bore thee hung'ring thou behold, no deed Do thou, that men of perfect soul have crime decreed.
Though a minister may see his mother starve; let him do not act which the wise would (treat with contempt).
657 Than store of wealth guilt-laden souls obtain, The sorest poverty of perfect soul is richer gain.
Far more excellent is the extreme poverty of the wise than wealth obtained by heaping up of sinful deeds.
658 To those who hate reproof and do forbidden thing. What prospers now, in after days shall anguish bring.
The actions of those, who have not desisted from doing deeds forbidden (by the great), will, even if they succeed, cause them sorrow.
659 What's gained through tears with tears shall go; From loss good deeds entail harvests of blessings grow.
All that has been obtained with tears (to the victim) will depart with tears (to himself); but what has been by fair means; though with loss at first, will afterwards yield fruit.
660 In pot of clay unburnt he water pours and would retain, Who seeks by wrong the realm in wealth and safety to maintain.
(For a minister) to protect (his king) with wealth obtained by foul means is like preserving a vessel of wet clay by filling it with water.
# Tirukural/Chapter 9

Kural-81 All household cares and course of daily life have this in view. Guests to receive with courtesy, and kindly acts to do. The whole design of living in the domestic state and laying up (property) is (to be able) to exercise the benevolence of hospitality.
Kural-82 Though food of immortality should crown the board, Feasting alone, the guests without unfed, is thing abhorred. It is not fit that one should wish his guests to be outside (his house) even though he were eating the food of immortality.
Kural-83 Each day he tends the coming guest with kindly care; Painless, unfailing plenty shall his household share. The domestic life of the man that daily entertains the guests who come to him shall not be laid waste by poverty.
Kural-84 With smiling face he entertains each virtuous guest, 'Fortune' with gladsome mind shall in his dwelling rest. Lakshmi with joyous mind shall dwell in the house of that man who, with cheerful countenance, entertains the good as guests.
Kural-85 Who first regales his guest, and then himself supplies, O'er all his fields, unsown, shall plenteous harvests rise. Is it necessary to sow the field of the man who, having feasted his guests, eats what may remain ?
Kural-86 The guest arrived he tends, the coming guest expects to see; To those in heavenly homes that dwell a welcome guest is he. He who, having entertained the guests that have come, looks out for others who may yet come, will be a welcome guest to the inhabitants of heaven.
Kural-87 To reckon up the fruit of kindly deeds were all in vain; Their worth is as the worth of guests you entertain. The advantages of benevolence cannot be measured; the measure (of the virtue) of the guests (entertained) is the only measure.
Kural-88 With pain they guard their stores, yet 'All forlorn are we,' they'll cry, Who cherish not their guests, nor kindly help supply. Those who have taken no part in the benevolence of hospitality shall (at length lament) saying, "we have laboured and laid up wealth and are now without support."
Kural-89 To turn from guests is penury, though worldly goods abound; 'Tis senseless folly, only with the senseless found. That stupidity which excercises no hospitality is poverty in the midst of wealth. It is the property of the stupid.
Kural-90 The flower of 'Anicha' withers away, If you do but its fragrance inhale; If the face of the host cold welcome convey, The guest's heart within him will fail. As the Anicham flower fades in smelling, so fades the guest when the face is turned away.
# Tirukural/Chapter 6

Kural-51 As doth the house beseem, she shows her wifely dignity; As doth her husband's wealth befit, she spends: help - meet is she. She who has the excellence of home virtues, and can expend within the means of her husband, is a help in the domestic state.
Kural-52 If household excellence be wanting in the wife, Howe'er with splendour lived, all worthless is the life. If the wife be devoid of domestic excellence, whatever (other) greatness be possessed, the conjugal state, is nothing.
Kural-53 There is no lack within the house, where wife in worth excels, There is no luck within the house, where wife dishonoured dwells. If his wife be eminent (in virtue), what does (that man) not possess ? If she be without excellence, what does (he) possess ?
Kural-54 If woman might of chastity retain, What choicer treasure doth the world contain? What is more excellent than a wife, if she possess the stability of chastity ?
Kural-55 No God adoring, low she bends before her lord; Then rising, serves: the rain falls instant at her word! If she, who does not worship God, but who rising worships her husband, say, "let it rain," it will rain.
Kural-56 Who guards herself, for husband's comfort cares, her household's fame, In perfect wise with sleepless soul preserves, -give her a woman's name. She is a wife who unweariedly guards herself, takes care of her husband, and preserves an unsullied fame.
Kural-57 Of what avail is watch and ward? Honour's woman's safest guard. What avails the guard of a prison ? The chief guard of a woman is her chastity.
Kural-58 If wife be wholly true to him who gained her as his bride, Great glory gains she in the world where gods bliss abide. If women shew reverence to their husbands, they will obtain great excellence in the world where the gods flourish.
Kural-59 Who have not spouses that in virtue's praise delight, They lion-like can never walk in scorner's sight. The man whose wife seeks not the praise (of chastity) cannot walk with lion-like stately step, before those who revile them.
Kural-60 The house's 'blessing', men pronounce the house-wife excellent; The gain of blessed children is its goodly ornament. The excellence of a wife is the good of her husband; and good children are the jewels of that goodness.
