SUPPOSE.

Sappose. my little lady.
Your doll should break her head:
Could you make it whole by CRYING
Til your eyes and nose were red
And wouldn't it be pleasanter
To treat it as joke,
And say you're glad 'twas Dol,y's
And not your head that broke
Suppose you're dressed for walking.
And the rain comes pouring down,
VIII it clear off any sooner
Because you sccld and frown?
4 nd wouldn't it be nicer
For you to smile than pout,
And so make sunshine IN the house
When there's none without2
Suppose your task. my little man,
Is very hard to get,
Will it make it any easier
For you to sit and fret
And wouldn't it be wiser
Than waiting like Ounce,
To go 20 work in earnest
And learn the thing at once?
Suppose that some boys have horse,
And some coach and pair,
Will it tire you less while walking
To say "it isn't fair -
And wouldn't il he nobIer
To keep your temper sweet,
And in your heart be thankful
\ GU can walk upon your feet?
Suppose the world don't please you,
Nor the way some people DO,
Do you think the whole creation
VIII be altered just for you?
And isn't it. my boy or girl,
Tie wisest. bravest plan,
Whatever comes, or doesn't-come,
To DO the best you can2
