HENRY IN A PASSION.
Master Henry is angry
As angry can be;
Oh, what is the matter?
Let us go and see.
As angry can be;
Oh, what is the matter?
Let us go and see.
His lips they stick out
Like the nose of a pump,
And he's giving his brother
A very hard thump.
Like the nose of a pump,
And he's giving his brother
A very hard thump.
He is trotting his small foot
As fast as a mill;
Master Henry, dear Henry,
I beg you'd be still.
As fast as a mill;
Master Henry, dear Henry,
I beg you'd be still.
What! throw down the chairs,
And kick over the books?
Oh Henry, dear Henry,
Don't give me such looks!
And kick over the books?
Oh Henry, dear Henry,
Don't give me such looks!

You tell me you will,
And then give me a slap!
Oh fie, master Henry,
Get out of my lap.
And then give me a slap!
Oh fie, master Henry,
Get out of my lap.
I know some young readers
Will not treat me so;
Will you, masters and misses?
“Oh no, indeed, no.”
Will not treat me so;
Will you, masters and misses?
“Oh no, indeed, no.”
