Side 49 - Don't ask me again. Why, I haven'ta chick Would do such a trick. We all gave her a feather, And she wove them together. I'd scorn to intrude On her and her brood. Cluck! Cluck!" said the hen, "Don't ask me again." "Chirr-a-whirr! Chirr-a-whirr! All the birds make a stir! Let us find out his name, And all cry, 'For shame!'
Side 142 - Hark ! how the music leaps out from his throat ! Hark ! was there ever so merry a note ? Listen awhile, and you'll hear what he's saying, Up in the apple tree swinging and swaying.
