SAIREY GAMP'S ROUNDEL
A baby's thumb, the little duck's,
Is fitter food than crust or crumb,
In baby's mouth when baby sucks
A baby's thumb.
It gives delight to all and some
Who wish the child the best of lucks
That ever to a child may come.
Is fitter food than crust or crumb,
In baby's mouth when baby sucks
A baby's thumb.
It gives delight to all and some
Who wish the child the best of lucks
That ever to a child may come.
Its mien is pleasanter than Puck's,
Its air triumphant, placid, dumb,
Benignant, bland, when baby sucks
A baby's thumb.
Its air triumphant, placid, dumb,
Benignant, bland, when baby sucks
A baby's thumb.
