RHYMES AND JINGLES.
Donot think the storyOf the giant-killer's gloryIs known and cherished only by yourselves,O, my dears;
Children sitting in tree
For his deeds so daring,And his trick of scaringAll his foes, are quite familiar to the elves,It appears.In the starlight, tender—In the moonlight's splendorDo they gather and recount every deed,It is said;How he met a hornet,Who was playing on a cornet,Out of tune; and he slew him with a reed,—Slew him dead!How, growing ever bolder,With his reed upon his shoulder,And an acorn-shield upon his little armWell equipped—He sought a mighty giant,Who was known as "Worm, the pliant,"And after giving battle, fierce and warm,Left him whipped.How he saw a spiderWith her victim, dead, inside her,Told her, in a voice of fury, to begoneFrom his sight;How he killed her when she'd risenTo her cruel, fatal prison,And nobly freed her captives, so forlorn,—Gallant knight!Ah, but the elves are proudest,And ring his praises loudest,When telling of a snail, grim and hoary,In his mail.With those fearful horns before him,Jack gallantly upbore him,And killed him with a thrust (to his glory)In the tail!
