THE TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE 80-PEEP.
Comprising the Incidents of the Pantomime.
Little 80-Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
beautiful placecalled.Areadia. She was a very good girl, but
hal one fault; and that was, she would often fall asleep in
the day- time. when she ought to have been tending her sheep.
Her godmother, who was a Fain*, was very angry With htr,
and tried to correct her, bait lit vain ; till one day, a wolf,
who lived in a caterft hear this betinfiful place, having fallen
ih love with Bo4'eep skid been rejected hi' her, oitt of revenge
resolved to steal her Sheep, alit off their tails, and hang theiti
bp on a tree to dry. 80-Peep, as tiSUill; having fxllhn aggen,
rendered the stealing of her Aheep aver y easy Matter for the
*olf and his companions. While she :fag Sleeping, her god-
irkither showed to her, in a dreani, the consequence o f
laziness •; and then there appeared to her a group of beautiful
ithepherdesioS, *lib *ere living and playing, and in
n role or lihilriihms, and were happy as the days were long,
because their time they had never been idle. When Bo-
?eep Woke nut of this dream she found her sheep had been
ta•ki away, so she set out determined to find them ;
When going along what should she see but. the tails of all
her poor sheep hanging up, side by side, on a tree to dry.
She then met with a cowherd, to whom the wolf had given
the charge of her sheep, and with whom she drove a bargain
for getting them back, tails and all. When she had accom-
plished this, she returned home with them, where, assisted
by some kindly shepherdesses, she contrived to tack each of
the tails of her poor sheep in its place again. Her lover,
Cohn, a young shepherd undertook to watch the flock all
night, as 80-Peep was tired and wanted to go to bed. The
sheep being all carefully put into the fold, and watched by
Colin, 80-Peep prepared to retire for the night ; but when
she had laid down, the wicked wolf appeared to carry her off
17 force—dragged her out of her bed, and, with the aid of
hie companions, conquered Colin, notwithstanding 80-Peep's
favourite black Ram, and her dog Lion, came to defend their
mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother
to help her, who immediately appeared in all her fair glory;
changed Colin into Harlequin, 80-Peep into Columbine, the
wicked Wolf into Pantaloon, his Cowherd into Clown. She
then told 80-Peep, that if, after twelve months, she would
correct herself of going to sleep in the day-time, she would
consent to her marriage with Colin. It is needless to add,
Little 80-Peep did correct herself
—was
a married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other
shepherdesses—as happy as the
days were long.
