mary lamb – the two boys lyrics
i saw a boy with eager eye
open a book upon a stall
and read as he’d devour it all;
which when the stall-man did espy
soon to the boy i heard him call
‘you, sir, you never buy a book
therefore in one you shall not look.’
the boy p-ssed slowly on, and with a sigh
he wished he never had been taught to read
then of the old churl’s books he should have had no need
of sufferings the poor have many
which never can the rich annoy
i soon perceived another boy
who looked as if he’d not had any
food for that day at least, enjoy
the sight of cold meat in a tavern larder
this boy’s case, thought i, is surely harder
thus hungry longing, thus without a penny
beholding choice of dainty dressed meat;
no wonder if he wish he ne’er had learned to eat
