An illustration from St. Nicholas [serial], 1873, leaf 687
Our Johnny knows them well, And every time he canHe helps them to go sailing Upon the sea of Pan. They are the stout young Pease boys, And every little brotherIs just as like, our Johnny says, As one pea to another. But once at least this morning,The one most round and fat He caught a crab while… … Another, somewhat wiser,Although not quite so fleet, Determined to be careful,And sat astride the seat. A storm ! a storm ! cried Johnny,As one small craft upset,But the little Pease boy swam ashoreAnd laughed at getting wet.
