Oh, oh, you will be sorry for that word! <br>Give back my book and take my kiss instead.<br>Was it my enemy or my friend I heard,<br>What a big book for such a little head!<br>Come, I will show you now my newest hat,<br>And you may watch me purse my mouth and prink!<br>Oh, I shall love you still, and all of that.<br>I never again shall tell you what I think.<br>I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly;<br>You will not catch me reading any more:<br>I shall be called a wife to pattern by;<br>And some day when you knock and push the door,<br>Some sane day, not too bright and not too stormy,<br>I shall be gone, and you may whistle for me.
