THE
KNIFE-GRINDER’S
BUDGET

“Swing-up, my Lads!”
The Drill-Sergeant cries,
“And fix on the Fugle-man
Each of your eyes.”
PRICE ONE PENNY.
[Illustration: FRONTISPIECE.
THE KNIFE-GRINDER.]
THE
KNIFE-GRINDER’s
BUDGET
OF
_Pictures & Poetry_,
FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS.
OTLEY:
PRINTED BY WILLIAM WALKER.
1829.
THE BUDGET
[Illustration]
“Come buy my fine Apples,”
The old Woman cries,
“You cannot have better
For eating or pies.”
[Illustration]
The Huxter and Donkey
Are both on their legs:
They’re going to market
For butter and eggs.
[Illustration]
The Barber, of all men,
Is most full of news,
And ever detested
By long-bearded Jews.
[Illustration]
“Well, Richard, you’re mounted
Again, I declare!”
“Yes, riding is better
Than walking, by far!”
[Illustration]
The Goat on the crag
You see fast asleep;
From whence he can leap,
Tho’ it’s ever so steep.
[Illustration]
The Child and Miss Pussy
Do play very nice;
But Pussy had much rather
Play with some mice.
[Illustration]
“Be quick as a Lamp-lighter!”
Sometimes we say:
Here’s one upon duty
Fast tripping away.
[Illustration]
O, Keeper! thy visage
Is dreadful indeed!
Thy presence I’ll flee
With all possible speed.
[Illustration]
Here comes for the Butcher
A fine lusty Calf,
For the killing of which
He perhaps will get half.
[Illustration]
Potatoes are useful,
If they be but good:
The ground must be till’d,
Or we cannot have food.
[Illustration]
That Hound, I dare say,
Won’t like the Boy’s whip;
Could he break the cord,
He would give him the slip.
[Illustration]
Poor Jack! I’m afraid
That thy bum will be sore:
That footmen were boot-jacks
I ne’er knew before.
[Illustration]
You here see a poor man
Repairing a chair;
He sits on the ground,
Quite expos’d to the air.
[Illustration]
Silk, Cotton, and Sugar,
And Coffee, and Tea,
Are fetch’d by the sailors
Across the great sea.
[Illustration]
Poor Tray seems inclin’d
With Matilda to dine:
He wants but the meat,—
He would leave her the wine.
[Illustration]
Come buy my fat Rabbits,
Come, Ladies, and buy;
With mutton they make
A most excellent pie.
[Illustration]
When the Hen calls her Chickens,
They follow straight-way;
So Children should always
Their Parents obey.
[Illustration]
You see the old Laundress
At work in her drills;
But I fear she’s too old
To crimp you your frills.
[Illustration]
“Buy a good sweeping-brush,—
Hand-brushes buy,—
I’ll sell you cheap brushes,”—
The old man doth cry.
[Illustration]
This Lady of pleasure
Is taking fresh air;
Which may do very well,
If the weather keep fair.
[Illustration]
Poor Ned, I’m afraid,
Cannot meet with his horse;
He seems quite distracted
At so great a loss.
[Illustration]
The Girl you see swinging,
If the band only break,
Will be in great danger
Of breaking her neck.
[Illustration]
A Bull-baiting now
Puts an end to my book:
The scene is so cruel,
I can scarce bear to look.
_W. Walker, Printer, Otley._
THE
KNIFE-GRINDER’S
BUDGET.
[Illustration]
Old Billy, poor man!
Is depriv’d of his sight,
But still with his music
Produces delight.
PRICE ONE PENNY.
