And all the folks from town came

And baid that it was fine.

Besides.them looked quite small,
Next came the second episode
With Puritan lad and maid,

Sat spinning in the shade:
The last was Doctor Franklin
In that noted court of France;
The girls in that rose minuet,
You should have seen them

To teachers one, two, three,
That trained the children for this

For all you folks to see.
