"It is a Shame," said Albert Gore,

"That I my Top may spin no more,

But to my must go;

Whilst James, although the Clock strikes Three,

Still plies his Marbles busily

With Uncle's Gardener, Joe."

"Nay, quit your Sport, your Hand refrain,"

Cried the Preceptor once again;

But, oh! to tell I grieve

That Albert, when he turn'd his Face,

Made so repellent a Grimace

That you would scarce believe.

And ah! the Wind, at Heav'n's behest

Changed from the East into the West,

Alas! for Albert Gore,

His Countenance, his glaring Eye,

His Nose outspread, his Mouth awry

Were set to turn no more.

Oh! what a Warning this should be

For every little Child to see,

For all from Albert run.

The Author of his own Disgrace,

He weeps to think how wry a Face

He'll wear till Life is done.
