MONEY.

Two farthings one halfpenny make,
A penny four of such will take;
And to allow I am most willing
That twelve pence always make a shilling;
And that five shillings make a crown,
Twenty a sovereign, the same as pound.
Some have no cash, some have to spare--
Some who have wealth for none will care.
Some through misfortune's hand brought low,
Their money gone, are filled with woe,
But I know better than to grieve;
If I have none I will not thieve;
I'll be content whate'er's my lot,
Nor for misfortunes care a _groat_.
There is a Providence whose care
And sovereign love I crave to share;
His love is _gold without alloy_;
Those who possess't have _endless joy_.

Sixty seconds make a minute;
Time enough to tie my shoe
Sixty minutes make an hour;
Shall it pass and nought to do?

Twenty-four hours will make a day
Too much time to spend in sleep,
Too much time to spend in play,
For seven days will end the week,

Fifty and two such weeks will put
Near an end to every year;
Days three hundred sixty-five
Are the whole that it can sh
