l ITTLE Polly Flinders sat among the cinders,
Lo Narming her pretty little toes.
Her mother came and caught her,
And whipped her Itttle daughter
For spoiling her nice new clothes.

Â¥ HAD a little pony ;
They called him dapple-gray ;
Yjent him toalady, —
To ride a mile away.
She whipped him, she slashed him,
She rode him through the mire;
I would not lend my pony now
For all the lady’s hire.

And that’s what little boys are made of, made of. |

What are little girls made of, made of, made of,
What are little girls made of ?
Sugar and spice, and all that is nice,

And that’s what little girls are made of, made of.
