Attend my words. my gentle knave,
And you shall learn from me
How boys at dinner may behave
With due propriety
Guard well your hands; two things have
Unity used by some:
The trencher for tambourine.
The table for a drum.
We could not lead pleasant life
And 'twould be finished soon,
II peas were eaten with the knife,
And gravy with the spoon.
Eat slowly; only men In rags
And gluttons old in sin
Mistake themselves for carpet bags
And tumble victuals In.
The privy pinch. the whispered tease,
The wild. unseemly yell
When children do such things as these.
We say, 1T Is not WELL
Endure your mothers timely stare,
Your fathers righteous Ire,
And do not wriggle on your chair.
Like flannel In the f1re.
BE silent: you may chatter loud
When you are fully grown.
Surrounded by silent crowd
OF children OF your own.
II you should suddenly feel bored
And much inclined to yawning.
Your little hand will best AFFORD
A modest useful awning.
Think highly of the cat; and yet
You need not therefore think
That portly strangers like your pc,
To share their meat and drink
The end OF dinner comes ere long.
When, once more full and free.
You cheerfully may bide the gong
That calls you to your tea.
