+
+  _DEDICATION._
+
+  TO THE GENTLEMAN
+  ON PAGE 49.
+
+
+
+A
+
+    stands for
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                Archibald who told no lies,
+    And got this lovely volume for a prize.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    The Upper School had combed and oiled their hair,
+    And all the Parents of the Boys were there.
+    In words that ring like thunder through the Hall,
+    Draw tears from some and loud applause from all,--
+    The Pedagogue, with Pardonable Joy,
+    Bestows the Gift upon the Radiant Boy:--
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    "Accept the Noblest Work produced as yet"
+    (Says he) "upon the English Alphabet;
+    "Next term I shall examine you, to find
+    "If you have read it thoroughly. So mind!"
+    And while the Boys and Parents cheered so loud,
+    That out of doors
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                     a large and anxious crowd
+    Had gathered and was blocking up the street,
+    The admirable child resumed his seat.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Learn from this justly irritating Youth,
+  To brush your Hair and Teeth and tell the Truth.
+
+
+
+B stands for Bear.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+             When Bears are seen
+    Approaching in the distance,
+    Make up your mind at once between
+       Retreat and Armed Resistance.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    A Gentleman remained to fight--
+       With what result for him?
+    The Bear, with ill-concealed delight,
+        Devoured him, Limb by Limb.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    Another Person turned and ran;
+        He ran extremely hard:
+    The Bear was faster than the Man,
+        And beat him by a yard.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Decisive action in the hour of need
+  Denotes the Hero, but does not succeed.
+
+
+
+C stands for Cobra; when the Cobra
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                                             bites
+   An Indian Judge, the Judge spends restless nights.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  This creature, though disgusting and appalling,
+  Conveys no kind of Moral worth recalling.
+
+
+
+D
+
+    The Dreadful
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                             Dinotherium he
+    Will have to do his best for D.
+    The early world observed with awe
+    His back, indented like a saw.
+    His look was gay, his voice was strong;
+    His tail was neither short nor long;
+    His trunk, or elongated nose,
+    Was not so large as some suppose;
+    His teeth, as all the world allows,
+    Were graminivorous, like a cow's.
+    He therefore should have wished to pass
+    Long peaceful nights upon the Grass,
+    But being mad the brute preferred
+    To roost in branches, like a bird.[A]
+    A creature heavier than a whale,
+    You see at once, could hardly fail
+    To suffer badly when he slid
+    And tumbled
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                             (as he always did).
+    His fossil, therefore, comes to light
+    All broken up: and serve him right.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  If you were born to walk the ground,
+  Remain there; do not fool around.
+
+
+  [A]
+    We have good reason to suppose
+    He did so, from his claw-like toes.
+
+
+
+E
+
+        stands for
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                    Egg.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+          The Moral of this verse
+  Is applicable to the Young. Be terse.
+
+
+
+F
+
+     for a
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+          Family taking a walk
+        In Arcadia Terrace, no doubt:
+    The parents indulge in intelligent talk,
+        While the children they gambol about.
+    At a quarter-past six they return to their tea,
+    Of a kind that would hardly be tempting to me,
+          Though my appetite passes belief.
+    There is Jam, Ginger Beer, Buttered Toast, Marmalade,
+    With a Cold Leg of Mutton and Warm Lemonade,
+    And a large Pigeon Pie very skilfully made
+          To consist almost wholly of Beef.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  A Respectable Family taking the air
+      Is a subject on which I could dwell;
+  It contains all the morals that ever there were,
+      And it sets an example as well.
+
+
+
+G
+
+    stands for Gnu, whose weapons of Defence
+    Are long, sharp, curling Horns, and Common-sense.
+    To these he adds a Name so short and strong,
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    That even Hardy Boers pronounce it wrong.
+    How often on a bright Autumnal day
+    The Pious people of Pretoria say,
+    "Come, let us hunt the----" Then no more is heard
+    But Sounds of Strong Men struggling with a word.
+    Meanwhile, the distant Gnu with grateful eyes
+    Observes his opportunity, and flies.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Child, if you have a rummy kind of name,
+  Remember to be thankful for the same.
+
+
+
+H was a
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+          Horseman who rode to the meet,
+    And talked of the Pads of the fox as his "feet"--
+    An error which furnished subscribers with grounds
+    For refusing to make him a Master of Hounds.
+    He gave way thereupon to so fearful a rage,
+    That he sold up his Stable and went on the Stage,
+    And had all the success that a man could desire
+    In creating the Part of
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                           "The Old English Squire."
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  In the Learned Professions, a person should know
+  The advantage of having two strings to his bow.
+
+
+
+I
+    the Poor Indian, justly called "The Poor,"
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    He has to eat his Dinner off the floor.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  The Moral these delightful lines afford
+  Is: "Living cheaply is its own reward."
+
+
+
+J
+
+    stands for James, who thought it immaterial
+    To pay his taxes, Local or Imperial.
+    In vain the Mother wept, the Wife implored,
+    James only yawned as though a trifle bored.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    The Tax Collector called again, but he
+    Was met with Persiflage and Repartee.
+    When James was hauled before the learned Judge,
+    Who lectured him, he loudly whispered, "Fudge!"
+    The Judge was startled from his usual calm,
+    He
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+        struck the desk before him with his palm,
+    And roared in tones to make the boldest quail,
+    "_J stands for James_, IT ALSO STANDS FOR JAIL."
+    And therefore, on a dark and dreadful day,
+    Policemen came and took him all away.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  The fate of James is typical, and shows
+      How little mercy people can expect
+  Who will not pay their taxes; (saving those
+      To which they conscientiously object.)
+
+
+
+K
+
+    for the Klondyke, a Country of Gold,
+    Where the winters are often excessively cold;
+    Where the lawn every morning is covered with rime,
+    And skating continues for years at a time.
+    Do you think that a Climate can conquer the grit
+    Of the Sons of the West? Not a bit! Not a bit!
+    When the weather looks nippy, the bold Pioneers
+    Put on two pairs of Stockings and cover their ears,
+    And roam through the drear Hyperborean dales
+    With a vast apparatus of Buckets and Pails;
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    Or wander through wild Hyperborean glades
+    With Hoes, Hammers, Pickaxes, Matlocks and Spades.
+    There are some who give rise to exuberant mirth
+    By turning up nothing but bushels of earth,
+    While those who have little cause excellent fun
+    By attempting to pilfer from those who have none.
+    At times the reward they will get for their pains
+    Is to strike very tempting auriferous veins;
+    Or, a shaft being sunk for some miles in the ground,
+    Not infrequently nuggets of value are found.
+    They bring us the gold when their labours are ended,
+    And we--after thanking them prettily--spend it.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Just you work for Humanity, never you mind
+  If Humanity seems to have left you behind.
+
+
+
+L
+
+    was a Lady, Advancing in Age,
+        Who drove in her carriage and six,
+    With a Couple of Footmen a Coachman and Page,
+        Who were all of them regular bricks.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    If the Coach ran away, or was smashed by a Dray,
+        Or got into collisions and blocks,
+    The Page, with a courtesy rare for his years,
+    Would leap to the ground with inspiriting cheers,
+    While the Footman allayed her legitimate fears,
+        And the Coachman sat tight on his box.
+    At night as they met round an excellent meal,
+        They would take it in turn to observe:
+    "What a Lady indeed! . . . what a presence to Feel! . . ."
+        "What a Woman to worship and serve! . . ."
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    But, perhaps, the most poignant of all their delights
+        Was to stand in a rapturous Dream
+    When she spoke to them kindly on Saturday Nights,
+        And said "They deserved her Esteem."
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Now observe the Reward of these dutiful lives:
+      At the end of their Loyal Career
+  They each had a Lodge at the end of the drives,
+      And she left them a Hundred a Year.
+  Remember from this to be properly vexed
+      When the newspaper editors say,
+  That "The type of society shown in the Text
+      "Is rapidly passing away."
+
+
+
+M
+
+    was a Millionaire who sat at Table,
+        And ate like this--
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                            as long as he was able;
+    At half-past twelve the waiters turned him out:
+        He lived impoverished and died of gout.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Disgusting exhibition! Have a care
+  When, later on, you are a Millionaire,
+  To rise from table feeling you could still
+  Take something more, and not be really ill.
+
+
+
+N
+
+    stands for Ned, Maria's younger brother,
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    Who, walking one way, chose to gaze the other.
+    In Blandford Square--a crowded part of town--
+    Two People on a tandem knocked him down;
+    Whereat
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+            a Motor Car, with warning shout,
+    Ran right on top and turned him inside out:
+    The damages that he obtained from these
+    Maintained him all his life in cultured ease.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  The law protects you. Go your gentle way:
+  The Other Man has always got to Pay.
+
+
+
+O
+
+    stands for Oxford. Hail! salubrious seat
+    Of learning! Academical Retreat!
+    Home of my Middle Age! Malarial Spot
+    Which People call Medeeval (though it's not).
+    The marshes in the neighbourhood can vie
+    With Cambridge, but the town itself is dry,
+    And serves to make a kind of Fold or Pen
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    Wherein to herd a lot of Learned Men.
+    Were I to write but half of what they know,
+    It would exhaust the space reserved for "O";
+    And, as my book must not be over big,
+    I turn at once to "P," which stands for Pig.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Be taught by this to speak with moderation
+  Of places where, with decent application,
+  One gets a good, sound, middle-class education.
+
+
+
+P
+
+    stands for Pig, as I remarked before,
+    A second cousin to the Huge Wild Boar.
+    But Pigs are civilized, while Huge Wild Boars
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    Live savagely, at random, out of doors,
+    And, in their coarse contempt for dainty foods,
+    Subsist on Truffles, which they find in woods.
+    Not so the cultivated Pig, who feels
+    The need of several courses at his meals,
+    But wrongly thinks it does not matter whether
+    He takes them one by one
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                              or all together.
+    Hence, Pigs devour, from lack of self-respect,
+    What Epicures would certainly reject.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Learn from the Pig to take whatever Fate
+  Or Elder Persons heap upon your plate.
+
+Q
+
+    for Quinine, which children take
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    With Jam and little bits of cake.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  How idiotic! Can Quinine
+  Replace Cold Baths and Sound Hygiene?
+
+
+
+R
+
+        the Reviewer,
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                          reviewing my book,
+    At which he had barely intended to look;
+    But the very first lines upon "A" were enough
+    To convince him the _Verses_ were excellent stuff.
+    So he wrote, without stopping, for several days
+    In terms of extreme, but well-merited Praise.
+    To quote but one Passage: "No Person" (says he),
+    "Will be really content without purchasing three,
+    "While a Parent will send for a dozen or more,
+    "And strew them about on the Nursery Floor.
+    "The Versification might call for some strictures
+    "Were it not for its singular wit; while the Pictures,
+    "Tho' the handling of line is a little defective,
+    "Make up amply in _verve_ what they lack in perspective."
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  The habit of constantly telling the Truth
+  Will lend an additional lustre to Youth.
+
+
+
+S
+
+    stands for Snail, who, though he be the least,
+    Is not an uninstructive Hornèd Beast.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    His eyes are on his Horns, and when you shout
+    Or tickle them, the Horns go in and out.
+    Had Providence seen proper to endow
+    The furious Unicorn or sober Cow
+    With such a gift the one would never now
+    Appear so commonplace on Coats of Arms.
+    And what a fortune for our failing farms
+    If circus managers, with wealth untold,
+    Would take the Cows for half their weight in gold!
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Learn from the Snail to take reproof with patience,
+  And not put out your Horns on all occasions.
+
+
+
+T
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    for the Genial Tourist, who resides
+    In Peckham, where he writes Italian Guides.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Learn from this information not to cavil
+  At slight mistakes in books on foreign travel.
+
+
+
+U
+
+         for the Upas Tree,
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+                          that casts a blight
+    On those that pull their sisters' hair, and fight.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    But oh! the Good! They wander undismayed,
+    And (as the Subtle Artist has portrayed)
+    Dispend the golden hours at play beneath its shade.[B]
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Dear Reader, if you chance to catch a sight
+  Of Upas Trees, betake yourself to flight.
+
+  [B]
+    A friend of mine, a Botanist, believes
+    That Good can even browse upon its leaves.
+    I doubt it....
+
+
+
+V for
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+        the unobtrusive Volunteer,
+    Who fills the Armies of the World with fear.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Seek with the Volunteer to put aside
+  The empty Pomp of Military Pride.
+
+
+
+W
+
+    My little victim, let me trouble you
+    To fix your active mind on W.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    The WATERBEETLE here shall teach
+    A sermon far beyond your reach:
+    He flabbergasts the Human Race
+    By gliding on the water's face
+    With ease, celerity, and grace;
+    _But if he ever stopped to think
+    Of how he did it, he would sink._
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Don't ask Questions!
+
+
+
+X
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    No reasonable little Child expects
+    A Grown-up Man to make a rhyme on X.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  These verses teach a clever child to find
+  Excuse for doing all that he's inclined.
+
+
+
+Y
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    stands for Youth (it would have stood for Yak,
+    But that I wrote about him two years back).
+    Youth is the pleasant springtime of our days,
+    As Dante so mellifluously says
+    (Who always speaks of Youth with proper praise).
+    You have not got to Youth, but when you do
+    You'll find what He and I have said is true.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Youth's excellence should teach the Modern Wit
+  First to be Young, and then to boast of it.
+
+
+
+Z
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+    for this Zébu, who (like all Zebús)[C]
+    Is held divine by scrupulous Hindoos.
+
+  [C]
+    Von Kettner writes it "_Zé_bu"; Wurst "Ze_bu_":
+    I split the difference and use the two.
+
+
+  MORAL.
+
+  Idolatry, as you are well aware,
+  Is highly reprehensible. But there,
+  We needn't bother,--when we get to Z
+  Our interest in the Alphabet is dead.

-  _DEDICATION._
-
-  TO THE GENTLEMAN
-  ON PAGE 49.
-
-
-
-A
-
-    stands for
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                Archibald who told no lies,
-    And got this lovely volume for a prize.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    The Upper School had combed and oiled their hair,
-    And all the Parents of the Boys were there.
-    In words that ring like thunder through the Hall,
-    Draw tears from some and loud applause from all,--
-    The Pedagogue, with Pardonable Joy,
-    Bestows the Gift upon the Radiant Boy:--
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    "Accept the Noblest Work produced as yet"
-    (Says he) "upon the English Alphabet;
-    "Next term I shall examine you, to find
-    "If you have read it thoroughly. So mind!"
-    And while the Boys and Parents cheered so loud,
-    That out of doors
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                     a large and anxious crowd
-    Had gathered and was blocking up the street,
-    The admirable child resumed his seat.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from this justly irritating Youth,
-  To brush your Hair and Teeth and tell the Truth.
-
-
-
-B stands for Bear.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-             When Bears are seen
-    Approaching in the distance,
-    Make up your mind at once between
-       Retreat and Armed Resistance.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    A Gentleman remained to fight--
-       With what result for him?
-    The Bear, with ill-concealed delight,
-        Devoured him, Limb by Limb.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Another Person turned and ran;
-        He ran extremely hard:
-    The Bear was faster than the Man,
-        And beat him by a yard.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Decisive action in the hour of need
-  Denotes the Hero, but does not succeed.
-
-
-
-C stands for Cobra; when the Cobra
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                                             bites
-   An Indian Judge, the Judge spends restless nights.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  This creature, though disgusting and appalling,
-  Conveys no kind of Moral worth recalling.
-
-
-
-D
-
-    The Dreadful
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                             Dinotherium he
-    Will have to do his best for D.
-    The early world observed with awe
-    His back, indented like a saw.
-    His look was gay, his voice was strong;
-    His tail was neither short nor long;
-    His trunk, or elongated nose,
-    Was not so large as some suppose;
-    His teeth, as all the world allows,
-    Were graminivorous, like a cow's.
-    He therefore should have wished to pass
-    Long peaceful nights upon the Grass,
-    But being mad the brute preferred
-    To roost in branches, like a bird.[A]
-    A creature heavier than a whale,
-    You see at once, could hardly fail
-    To suffer badly when he slid
-    And tumbled
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                             (as he always did).
-    His fossil, therefore, comes to light
-    All broken up: and serve him right.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  If you were born to walk the ground,
-  Remain there; do not fool around.
-
-
-  [A]
-    We have good reason to suppose
-    He did so, from his claw-like toes.
-
-
-
-E
-
-        stands for
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                    Egg.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-          The Moral of this verse
-  Is applicable to the Young. Be terse.
-
-
-
-F
-
-     for a
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-          Family taking a walk
-        In Arcadia Terrace, no doubt:
-    The parents indulge in intelligent talk,
-        While the children they gambol about.
-    At a quarter-past six they return to their tea,
-    Of a kind that would hardly be tempting to me,
-          Though my appetite passes belief.
-    There is Jam, Ginger Beer, Buttered Toast, Marmalade,
-    With a Cold Leg of Mutton and Warm Lemonade,
-    And a large Pigeon Pie very skilfully made
-          To consist almost wholly of Beef.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  A Respectable Family taking the air
-      Is a subject on which I could dwell;
-  It contains all the morals that ever there were,
-      And it sets an example as well.
-
-
-
-G
-
-    stands for Gnu, whose weapons of Defence
-    Are long, sharp, curling Horns, and Common-sense.
-    To these he adds a Name so short and strong,
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    That even Hardy Boers pronounce it wrong.
-    How often on a bright Autumnal day
-    The Pious people of Pretoria say,
-    "Come, let us hunt the----" Then no more is heard
-    But Sounds of Strong Men struggling with a word.
-    Meanwhile, the distant Gnu with grateful eyes
-    Observes his opportunity, and flies.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Child, if you have a rummy kind of name,
-  Remember to be thankful for the same.
-
-
-
-H was a
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-          Horseman who rode to the meet,
-    And talked of the Pads of the fox as his "feet"--
-    An error which furnished subscribers with grounds
-    For refusing to make him a Master of Hounds.
-    He gave way thereupon to so fearful a rage,
-    That he sold up his Stable and went on the Stage,
-    And had all the success that a man could desire
-    In creating the Part of
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                           "The Old English Squire."
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  In the Learned Professions, a person should know
-  The advantage of having two strings to his bow.
-
-
-
-I
-    the Poor Indian, justly called "The Poor,"
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    He has to eat his Dinner off the floor.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The Moral these delightful lines afford
-  Is: "Living cheaply is its own reward."
-
-
-
-J
-
-    stands for James, who thought it immaterial
-    To pay his taxes, Local or Imperial.
-    In vain the Mother wept, the Wife implored,
-    James only yawned as though a trifle bored.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    The Tax Collector called again, but he
-    Was met with Persiflage and Repartee.
-    When James was hauled before the learned Judge,
-    Who lectured him, he loudly whispered, "Fudge!"
-    The Judge was startled from his usual calm,
-    He
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-        struck the desk before him with his palm,
-    And roared in tones to make the boldest quail,
-    "_J stands for James_, IT ALSO STANDS FOR JAIL."
-    And therefore, on a dark and dreadful day,
-    Policemen came and took him all away.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The fate of James is typical, and shows
-      How little mercy people can expect
-  Who will not pay their taxes; (saving those
-      To which they conscientiously object.)
-
-
-
-K
-
-    for the Klondyke, a Country of Gold,
-    Where the winters are often excessively cold;
-    Where the lawn every morning is covered with rime,
-    And skating continues for years at a time.
-    Do you think that a Climate can conquer the grit
-    Of the Sons of the West? Not a bit! Not a bit!
-    When the weather looks nippy, the bold Pioneers
-    Put on two pairs of Stockings and cover their ears,
-    And roam through the drear Hyperborean dales
-    With a vast apparatus of Buckets and Pails;
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Or wander through wild Hyperborean glades
-    With Hoes, Hammers, Pickaxes, Matlocks and Spades.
-    There are some who give rise to exuberant mirth
-    By turning up nothing but bushels of earth,
-    While those who have little cause excellent fun
-    By attempting to pilfer from those who have none.
-    At times the reward they will get for their pains
-    Is to strike very tempting auriferous veins;
-    Or, a shaft being sunk for some miles in the ground,
-    Not infrequently nuggets of value are found.
-    They bring us the gold when their labours are ended,
-    And we--after thanking them prettily--spend it.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Just you work for Humanity, never you mind
-  If Humanity seems to have left you behind.
-
-
-
-L
-
-    was a Lady, Advancing in Age,
-        Who drove in her carriage and six,
-    With a Couple of Footmen a Coachman and Page,
-        Who were all of them regular bricks.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    If the Coach ran away, or was smashed by a Dray,
-        Or got into collisions and blocks,
-    The Page, with a courtesy rare for his years,
-    Would leap to the ground with inspiriting cheers,
-    While the Footman allayed her legitimate fears,
-        And the Coachman sat tight on his box.
-    At night as they met round an excellent meal,
-        They would take it in turn to observe:
-    "What a Lady indeed! . . . what a presence to Feel! . . ."
-        "What a Woman to worship and serve! . . ."
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    But, perhaps, the most poignant of all their delights
-        Was to stand in a rapturous Dream
-    When she spoke to them kindly on Saturday Nights,
-        And said "They deserved her Esteem."
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Now observe the Reward of these dutiful lives:
-      At the end of their Loyal Career
-  They each had a Lodge at the end of the drives,
-      And she left them a Hundred a Year.
-  Remember from this to be properly vexed
-      When the newspaper editors say,
-  That "The type of society shown in the Text
-      "Is rapidly passing away."
-
-
-
-M
-
-    was a Millionaire who sat at Table,
-        And ate like this--
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                            as long as he was able;
-    At half-past twelve the waiters turned him out:
-        He lived impoverished and died of gout.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Disgusting exhibition! Have a care
-  When, later on, you are a Millionaire,
-  To rise from table feeling you could still
-  Take something more, and not be really ill.
-
-
-
-N
-
-    stands for Ned, Maria's younger brother,
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Who, walking one way, chose to gaze the other.
-    In Blandford Square--a crowded part of town--
-    Two People on a tandem knocked him down;
-    Whereat
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-            a Motor Car, with warning shout,
-    Ran right on top and turned him inside out:
-    The damages that he obtained from these
-    Maintained him all his life in cultured ease.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The law protects you. Go your gentle way:
-  The Other Man has always got to Pay.
-
-
-
-O
-
-    stands for Oxford. Hail! salubrious seat
-    Of learning! Academical Retreat!
-    Home of my Middle Age! Malarial Spot
-    Which People call Medeeval (though it's not).
-    The marshes in the neighbourhood can vie
-    With Cambridge, but the town itself is dry,
-    And serves to make a kind of Fold or Pen
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Wherein to herd a lot of Learned Men.
-    Were I to write but half of what they know,
-    It would exhaust the space reserved for "O";
-    And, as my book must not be over big,
-    I turn at once to "P," which stands for Pig.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Be taught by this to speak with moderation
-  Of places where, with decent application,
-  One gets a good, sound, middle-class education.
-
-
-
-P
-
-    stands for Pig, as I remarked before,
-    A second cousin to the Huge Wild Boar.
-    But Pigs are civilized, while Huge Wild Boars
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Live savagely, at random, out of doors,
-    And, in their coarse contempt for dainty foods,
-    Subsist on Truffles, which they find in woods.
-    Not so the cultivated Pig, who feels
-    The need of several courses at his meals,
-    But wrongly thinks it does not matter whether
-    He takes them one by one
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                              or all together.
-    Hence, Pigs devour, from lack of self-respect,
-    What Epicures would certainly reject.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from the Pig to take whatever Fate
-  Or Elder Persons heap upon your plate.
-
-Q
-
-    for Quinine, which children take
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    With Jam and little bits of cake.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  How idiotic! Can Quinine
-  Replace Cold Baths and Sound Hygiene?
-
-
-
-R
-
-        the Reviewer,
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                          reviewing my book,
-    At which he had barely intended to look;
-    But the very first lines upon "A" were enough
-    To convince him the _Verses_ were excellent stuff.
-    So he wrote, without stopping, for several days
-    In terms of extreme, but well-merited Praise.
-    To quote but one Passage: "No Person" (says he),
-    "Will be really content without purchasing three,
-    "While a Parent will send for a dozen or more,
-    "And strew them about on the Nursery Floor.
-    "The Versification might call for some strictures
-    "Were it not for its singular wit; while the Pictures,
-    "Tho' the handling of line is a little defective,
-    "Make up amply in _verve_ what they lack in perspective."
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The habit of constantly telling the Truth
-  Will lend an additional lustre to Youth.
-
-
-
-S
-
-    stands for Snail, who, though he be the least,
-    Is not an uninstructive Hornèd Beast.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    His eyes are on his Horns, and when you shout
-    Or tickle them, the Horns go in and out.
-    Had Providence seen proper to endow
-    The furious Unicorn or sober Cow
-    With such a gift the one would never now
-    Appear so commonplace on Coats of Arms.
-    And what a fortune for our failing farms
-    If circus managers, with wealth untold,
-    Would take the Cows for half their weight in gold!
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from the Snail to take reproof with patience,
-  And not put out your Horns on all occasions.
-
-
-
-T
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    for the Genial Tourist, who resides
-    In Peckham, where he writes Italian Guides.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from this information not to cavil
-  At slight mistakes in books on foreign travel.
-
-
-
-U
-
-         for the Upas Tree,
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                          that casts a blight
-    On those that pull their sisters' hair, and fight.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    But oh! the Good! They wander undismayed,
-    And (as the Subtle Artist has portrayed)
-    Dispend the golden hours at play beneath its shade.[B]
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Dear Reader, if you chance to catch a sight
-  Of Upas Trees, betake yourself to flight.
-
-  [B]
-    A friend of mine, a Botanist, believes
-    That Good can even browse upon its leaves.
-    I doubt it....
-
-
-
-V for
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-        the unobtrusive Volunteer,
-    Who fills the Armies of the World with fear.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Seek with the Volunteer to put aside
-  The empty Pomp of Military Pride.
-
-
-
-W
-
-    My little victim, let me trouble you
-    To fix your active mind on W.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    The WATERBEETLE here shall teach
-    A sermon far beyond your reach:
-    He flabbergasts the Human Race
-    By gliding on the water's face
-    With ease, celerity, and grace;
-    _But if he ever stopped to think
-    Of how he did it, he would sink._
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Don't ask Questions!
-
-
-
-X
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    No reasonable little Child expects
-    A Grown-up Man to make a rhyme on X.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  These verses teach a clever child to find
-  Excuse for doing all that he's inclined.
-
-
-
-Y
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    stands for Youth (it would have stood for Yak,
-    But that I wrote about him two years back).
-    Youth is the pleasant springtime of our days,
-    As Dante so mellifluously says
-    (Who always speaks of Youth with proper praise).
-    You have not got to Youth, but when you do
-    You'll find what He and I have said is true.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Youth's excellence should teach the Modern Wit
-  First to be Young, and then to boast of it.
-
-
-
-Z
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    for this Zébu, who (like all Zebús)[C]
-    Is held divine by scrupulous Hindoos.
-
-  [C]
-    Von Kettner writes it "_Zé_bu"; Wurst "Ze_bu_":
-    I split the difference and use the two.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Idolatry, as you are well aware,
-  Is highly reprehensible. But there,
-  We needn't bother,--when we get to Z
-  Our interest in the Alphabet is dead.

-1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

-
-1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

-individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
-located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
-copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
-works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
-are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
-Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
-freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
-this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
-the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
-keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
-Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
-a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
-the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
-before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
-creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
-Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
-the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
-States.

-from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
-posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
-and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
-or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
-with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
-work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
-computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

-Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
-     www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<h3>Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm</h3>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.</p>
-
-<p>Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-<h3>Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation</h3>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.</p>
-
-<p>The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit <a
-href="http://www.gutenberg.org/donate">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a></p>
-
-<p>While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.</p>
-
-<p>International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.</p>
-
-<p>Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit:  <a

-<h3>Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.</h3>
-
-<p>Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.</p>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.</p>
-
-<p>Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a></p>
-
-<p>This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.</p>

-  _DEDICATION._
-
-  TO THE GENTLEMAN
-  ON PAGE 49.
-
-
-
-A
-
-    stands for
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                Archibald who told no lies,
-    And got this lovely volume for a prize.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    The Upper School had combed and oiled their hair,
-    And all the Parents of the Boys were there.
-    In words that ring like thunder through the Hall,
-    Draw tears from some and loud applause from all,--
-    The Pedagogue, with Pardonable Joy,
-    Bestows the Gift upon the Radiant Boy:--
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    "Accept the Noblest Work produced as yet"
-    (Says he) "upon the English Alphabet;
-    "Next term I shall examine you, to find
-    "If you have read it thoroughly. So mind!"
-    And while the Boys and Parents cheered so loud,
-    That out of doors
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                     a large and anxious crowd
-    Had gathered and was blocking up the street,
-    The admirable child resumed his seat.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from this justly irritating Youth,
-  To brush your Hair and Teeth and tell the Truth.
-
-
-
-B stands for Bear.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-             When Bears are seen
-    Approaching in the distance,
-    Make up your mind at once between
-       Retreat and Armed Resistance.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    A Gentleman remained to fight--
-       With what result for him?
-    The Bear, with ill-concealed delight,
-        Devoured him, Limb by Limb.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Another Person turned and ran;
-        He ran extremely hard:
-    The Bear was faster than the Man,
-        And beat him by a yard.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Decisive action in the hour of need
-  Denotes the Hero, but does not succeed.
-
-
-
-C stands for Cobra; when the Cobra
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                                             bites
-   An Indian Judge, the Judge spends restless nights.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  This creature, though disgusting and appalling,
-  Conveys no kind of Moral worth recalling.
-
-
-
-D
-
-    The Dreadful
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                             Dinotherium he
-    Will have to do his best for D.
-    The early world observed with awe
-    His back, indented like a saw.
-    His look was gay, his voice was strong;
-    His tail was neither short nor long;
-    His trunk, or elongated nose,
-    Was not so large as some suppose;
-    His teeth, as all the world allows,
-    Were graminivorous, like a cow's.
-    He therefore should have wished to pass
-    Long peaceful nights upon the Grass,
-    But being mad the brute preferred
-    To roost in branches, like a bird.[A]
-    A creature heavier than a whale,
-    You see at once, could hardly fail
-    To suffer badly when he slid
-    And tumbled
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                             (as he always did).
-    His fossil, therefore, comes to light
-    All broken up: and serve him right.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  If you were born to walk the ground,
-  Remain there; do not fool around.
-
-
-  [A]
-    We have good reason to suppose
-    He did so, from his claw-like toes.
-
-
-
-E
-
-        stands for
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                    Egg.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-          The Moral of this verse
-  Is applicable to the Young. Be terse.
-
-
-
-F
-
-     for a
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-          Family taking a walk
-        In Arcadia Terrace, no doubt:
-    The parents indulge in intelligent talk,
-        While the children they gambol about.
-    At a quarter-past six they return to their tea,
-    Of a kind that would hardly be tempting to me,
-          Though my appetite passes belief.
-    There is Jam, Ginger Beer, Buttered Toast, Marmalade,
-    With a Cold Leg of Mutton and Warm Lemonade,
-    And a large Pigeon Pie very skilfully made
-          To consist almost wholly of Beef.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  A Respectable Family taking the air
-      Is a subject on which I could dwell;
-  It contains all the morals that ever there were,
-      And it sets an example as well.
-
-
-
-G
-
-    stands for Gnu, whose weapons of Defence
-    Are long, sharp, curling Horns, and Common-sense.
-    To these he adds a Name so short and strong,
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    That even Hardy Boers pronounce it wrong.
-    How often on a bright Autumnal day
-    The Pious people of Pretoria say,
-    "Come, let us hunt the----" Then no more is heard
-    But Sounds of Strong Men struggling with a word.
-    Meanwhile, the distant Gnu with grateful eyes
-    Observes his opportunity, and flies.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Child, if you have a rummy kind of name,
-  Remember to be thankful for the same.
-
-
-
-H was a
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-          Horseman who rode to the meet,
-    And talked of the Pads of the fox as his "feet"--
-    An error which furnished subscribers with grounds
-    For refusing to make him a Master of Hounds.
-    He gave way thereupon to so fearful a rage,
-    That he sold up his Stable and went on the Stage,
-    And had all the success that a man could desire
-    In creating the Part of
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                           "The Old English Squire."
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  In the Learned Professions, a person should know
-  The advantage of having two strings to his bow.
-
-
-
-I
-    the Poor Indian, justly called "The Poor,"
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    He has to eat his Dinner off the floor.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The Moral these delightful lines afford
-  Is: "Living cheaply is its own reward."
-
-
-
-J
-
-    stands for James, who thought it immaterial
-    To pay his taxes, Local or Imperial.
-    In vain the Mother wept, the Wife implored,
-    James only yawned as though a trifle bored.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    The Tax Collector called again, but he
-    Was met with Persiflage and Repartee.
-    When James was hauled before the learned Judge,
-    Who lectured him, he loudly whispered, "Fudge!"
-    The Judge was startled from his usual calm,
-    He
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-        struck the desk before him with his palm,
-    And roared in tones to make the boldest quail,
-    "_J stands for James_, IT ALSO STANDS FOR JAIL."
-    And therefore, on a dark and dreadful day,
-    Policemen came and took him all away.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The fate of James is typical, and shows
-      How little mercy people can expect
-  Who will not pay their taxes; (saving those
-      To which they conscientiously object.)
-
-
-
-K
-
-    for the Klondyke, a Country of Gold,
-    Where the winters are often excessively cold;
-    Where the lawn every morning is covered with rime,
-    And skating continues for years at a time.
-    Do you think that a Climate can conquer the grit
-    Of the Sons of the West? Not a bit! Not a bit!
-    When the weather looks nippy, the bold Pioneers
-    Put on two pairs of Stockings and cover their ears,
-    And roam through the drear Hyperborean dales
-    With a vast apparatus of Buckets and Pails;
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Or wander through wild Hyperborean glades
-    With Hoes, Hammers, Pickaxes, Matlocks and Spades.
-    There are some who give rise to exuberant mirth
-    By turning up nothing but bushels of earth,
-    While those who have little cause excellent fun
-    By attempting to pilfer from those who have none.
-    At times the reward they will get for their pains
-    Is to strike very tempting auriferous veins;
-    Or, a shaft being sunk for some miles in the ground,
-    Not infrequently nuggets of value are found.
-    They bring us the gold when their labours are ended,
-    And we--after thanking them prettily--spend it.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Just you work for Humanity, never you mind
-  If Humanity seems to have left you behind.
-
-
-
-L
-
-    was a Lady, Advancing in Age,
-        Who drove in her carriage and six,
-    With a Couple of Footmen a Coachman and Page,
-        Who were all of them regular bricks.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    If the Coach ran away, or was smashed by a Dray,
-        Or got into collisions and blocks,
-    The Page, with a courtesy rare for his years,
-    Would leap to the ground with inspiriting cheers,
-    While the Footman allayed her legitimate fears,
-        And the Coachman sat tight on his box.
-    At night as they met round an excellent meal,
-        They would take it in turn to observe:
-    "What a Lady indeed! . . . what a presence to Feel! . . ."
-        "What a Woman to worship and serve! . . ."
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    But, perhaps, the most poignant of all their delights
-        Was to stand in a rapturous Dream
-    When she spoke to them kindly on Saturday Nights,
-        And said "They deserved her Esteem."
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Now observe the Reward of these dutiful lives:
-      At the end of their Loyal Career
-  They each had a Lodge at the end of the drives,
-      And she left them a Hundred a Year.
-  Remember from this to be properly vexed
-      When the newspaper editors say,
-  That "The type of society shown in the Text
-      "Is rapidly passing away."
-
-
-
-M
-
-    was a Millionaire who sat at Table,
-        And ate like this--
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                            as long as he was able;
-    At half-past twelve the waiters turned him out:
-        He lived impoverished and died of gout.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Disgusting exhibition! Have a care
-  When, later on, you are a Millionaire,
-  To rise from table feeling you could still
-  Take something more, and not be really ill.
-
-
-
-N
-
-    stands for Ned, Maria's younger brother,
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Who, walking one way, chose to gaze the other.
-    In Blandford Square--a crowded part of town--
-    Two People on a tandem knocked him down;
-    Whereat
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-            a Motor Car, with warning shout,
-    Ran right on top and turned him inside out:
-    The damages that he obtained from these
-    Maintained him all his life in cultured ease.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The law protects you. Go your gentle way:
-  The Other Man has always got to Pay.
-
-
-
-O
-
-    stands for Oxford. Hail! salubrious seat
-    Of learning! Academical Retreat!
-    Home of my Middle Age! Malarial Spot
-    Which People call Medeeval (though it's not).
-    The marshes in the neighbourhood can vie
-    With Cambridge, but the town itself is dry,
-    And serves to make a kind of Fold or Pen
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Wherein to herd a lot of Learned Men.
-    Were I to write but half of what they know,
-    It would exhaust the space reserved for "O";
-    And, as my book must not be over big,
-    I turn at once to "P," which stands for Pig.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Be taught by this to speak with moderation
-  Of places where, with decent application,
-  One gets a good, sound, middle-class education.
-
-
-
-P
-
-    stands for Pig, as I remarked before,
-    A second cousin to the Huge Wild Boar.
-    But Pigs are civilized, while Huge Wild Boars
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    Live savagely, at random, out of doors,
-    And, in their coarse contempt for dainty foods,
-    Subsist on Truffles, which they find in woods.
-    Not so the cultivated Pig, who feels
-    The need of several courses at his meals,
-    But wrongly thinks it does not matter whether
-    He takes them one by one
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                              or all together.
-    Hence, Pigs devour, from lack of self-respect,
-    What Epicures would certainly reject.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from the Pig to take whatever Fate
-  Or Elder Persons heap upon your plate.
-

-    for Quinine, which children take

-
-  [Illustration]
-
-                          reviewing my book,
-    At which he had barely intended to look;
-    But the very first lines upon "A" were enough
-    To convince him the _Verses_ were excellent stuff.
-    So he wrote, without stopping, for several days
-    In terms of extreme, but well-merited Praise.
-    To quote but one Passage: "No Person" (says he),
-    "Will be really content without purchasing three,
-    "While a Parent will send for a dozen or more,
-    "And strew them about on the Nursery Floor.
-    "The Versification might call for some strictures
-    "Were it not for its singular wit; while the Pictures,
-    "Tho' the handling of line is a little defective,
-    "Make up amply in _verve_ what they lack in perspective."
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  The habit of constantly telling the Truth
-  Will lend an additional lustre to Youth.
-
-
-
-S
-
-    stands for Snail, who, though he be the least,
-    Is not an uninstructive Horned Beast.
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    His eyes are on his Horns, and when you shout
-    Or tickle them, the Horns go in and out.
-    Had Providence seen proper to endow
-    The furious Unicorn or sober Cow
-    With such a gift the one would never now
-    Appear so commonplace on Coats of Arms.
-    And what a fortune for our failing farms
-    If circus managers, with wealth untold,
-    Would take the Cows for half their weight in gold!
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Learn from the Snail to take reproof with patience,
-  And not put out your Horns on all occasions.

-    On those that pull their sisters' hair, and fight.

-
-    But oh! the Good! They wander undismayed,
-    And (as the Subtle Artist has portrayed)
-    Dispend the golden hours at play beneath its shade.[B]

-
-  Dear Reader, if you chance to catch a sight
-  Of Upas Trees, betake yourself to flight.

-    The WATERBEETLE here shall teach
-    A sermon far beyond your reach:
-    He flabbergasts the Human Race
-    By gliding on the water's face
-    With ease, celerity, and grace;
-    _But if he ever stopped to think
-    Of how he did it, he would sink._

-    No reasonable little Child expects
-    A Grown-up Man to make a rhyme on X.

-
-  These verses teach a clever child to find
-  Excuse for doing all that he's inclined.
-
-
-
-Y
-
-  [Illustration]
-
-    stands for Youth (it would have stood for Yak,
-    But that I wrote about him two years back).
-    Youth is the pleasant springtime of our days,
-    As Dante so mellifluously says
-    (Who always speaks of Youth with proper praise).
-    You have not got to Youth, but when you do
-    You'll find what He and I have said is true.
-
-
-  MORAL.
-
-  Youth's excellence should teach the Modern Wit
-  First to be Young, and then to boast of it.

-    I split the difference and use the two.

-  Idolatry, as you are well aware,
-  Is highly reprehensible. But there,
-  We needn't bother,--when we get to Z
-  Our interest in the Alphabet is dead.

-License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

-1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
-collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
-"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
-corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
-computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
-your equipment.

-work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
-Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

-Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
-

-Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
-     www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
