THE OLD HEN AND THE COCK pdf free download. Restrain your child; you’ll soon believe The text which says, we sprung from Eve. As an old hen led forth her train, And seemed to peck to shew the grain; She raked the chaff, she scratched the ground, And gleaned the spacious yard around. A giddy chick, to try her wings, On the well’s narrow margin springs, And prone she drops. The mother’s breast All day with sorrow was possess’d. A cock she met; her son she knew; And in her heart affection grew. ‘My son,’ says she, ‘I grant your years Have reached beyond a mother’s cares; I see you vig’rous, strong, and bold; I hear with joy your triumphs told. Tis not from cocks thy fate I dread; But let thy ever-wary tread Avoid yon well; that fatal place Is sure perdition to our race.
