Excerpt from The Hurdy-Gurdy Look! The poet stands apart, With his clear eyes raised to heaven. Pain and rapture shake his heart, But the best to grief is given. Lonely stands be there and high, Pointing upward, stem and single Burdy-gurdy, thou and I With the Jostling crowd must mingle.

Excerpt from Five Mice in a Mouse-Trap: By the Man in the Moon; Done in the Vernacular, From the Lunacular You see, I live very quietly up here, very quietly indeed, with only my dog to bear me company. He is a good dog, and very funny sometimes, but still I have a good deal of time on my hands, and nothing amuses me so much as to watch all that is going on down on your planet, and see what people in general, and children in particu lar, are doing, every day and all day. You may wonder how I can see so far, and see distinctly, but that is easily explained. I have a great, monstrous mirror, which is oh! Well, if I were to tell you how big it is, you would not believe me, so I will only say that it is very big indeed. This mirror has also the advantage of being a very strong magnifying glass, and as I can tlp It In any direction I please, you will easily understand that I can see just what is going on in any part of the world that I happen to be interested in. For instance, Tommy Tiptop, the glass was tipped towards New York this morning, and I saw you take away your little sister's stick of candy, you greedy bov'. Yes, and I saw you. Put in the closet for it, too, so that was well ended. Children are the same, I find, all the world over, for it was only yesterday that a little boy in Kamschatka (an ugly little Tartar he is, and not so very unlike you), named Patchko, while his father was out hunting, took away a tallow candle from his Sister, which seemed just as good to her as the barley sugar did to little Katie.
