Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 132
The dear old woman in the lane Is sick and sore with pains and aches, We 11 go to her this afternoon, And take her tea and eggs and cakes. We 11 stop to make the kettle boil,And brew some tea, and set the tray, And poach an egg, and toast a cake,And wheel her chair round, if we may. IIO … Swift and sure the swallow,Slow and sure the snail : Slow and sure may miss his way,Swift and sure may fail.
