This man doth wander round the town,
With fruit, both fresh and sweet,
For those who do attend their book,
And go both clean and neat.

Come buy my fine Writing Ink!

Thro' many a street and many a town,
The Inkman shapes his way,
The trusty ass keeps plodding on,
His master to obey.

Old Chairs to mend, Old Chairs to mend.

How serviceable are such men,
Who turn what's old to new,
A task which scarcely one in ten
Industriously pursue.

CRIES OF LONDON.

Maids, buy a Mop !

Let every pretty Miss at school,
Observe this easy lesson;
That housewifery's a golden rule,
And industry a blessing.

CRIES OF LONDON.

A merry song, which you may sing
to the tune of Sally in our Alley; while
I go play, so your Servant.

Of all the misses in the school,
Who come their minds to frame-a,

There's none so well confirms to rule,
As sweet Miss What's-her-name-a.

I wish each little lady here,
As little were to blame-a,
Then to all friends she'd be as dear,
As sweet Miss What's-her-name-a.

O! how her needle-work she minds,
Her book and slate the same-a,
In which she various pleasure finds,
O! sweet Miss What's-her-name-a.

Next breaking-up she goes to see,
Relations whence she came-a,
For very anxious must they be,
About Miss What's-her-name-a.

If right I judge, some few years hence,
Her chariot she will claim-a;
Bless her! will cry all folks of sense,
That's good Miss What's-her-name-a.

THE DEAD TWINS.

Like waxen Dolls that Infants dress,
The little bodies were;
A look of placid happiness,
Did on each face appear;
And in the Coffins short and wide,
They lay together, side by side.

A rose-bud nearly closed I found,
Each little Hand within;
And many a pink was strew'd around,
With sprigs of Jessamine;
And yet the flowers that round
them lay,
Were not to memorefairthan they.

Their mother as a Lilly pale,
Sat by them on a bed,
And bending o'er them told her tale,
And many a tear she shed :
Yet oft she cried amidst her pain,
My Babes and I shall meet again!"

31

My little Masters all attend,
And see with your own eyes,
This Book contains unto the end,
Most of the London Cries.

Which you may for one penny buy,
And when you've read it o'er,
Go to the shop again and try,
You may buy twenty more.

FINIS.
