Come, pretty master, pretty miss,
Be good, and gain a book like this;
Come, learn your tasks, and scholars be,
Your friends 'twill pleasure much to see.
Be good, and gain a book like this;
Come, learn your tasks, and scholars be,
Your friends 'twill pleasure much to see.
This pretty gift I will present,
To all who are on learning bent;
And if you read this book to me,
The Elephant you then may see.
To all who are on learning bent;
And if you read this book to me,
The Elephant you then may see.
