[blocks in formation]

Don't crowd; the world is large enough

For you as well as me;

The doors of art are open wide

The realm of thought is free.

In all earth's places, you are right

To choose the best you can

Provided that you do not try

LXXXII.

Two ears and only one mouth have you;
The reason, I think, is clear;

It teaches, my child, that it will not do
To talk about all you hear.

LXXXIII.

Two eyes and only one mouth have you;
The reason of this must be

That you should learn it will not do
To talk about all you see.

LXXXIV.

Two hands and only one mouth have you;

The reason, I am sure, is worth repeating: The two are for work that you will have to do, But the one is for eating.

The muscles of the body are fastened to a framework of bones called the skeleton. The heart sends the blood to all parts of the body. The blood goes out through the arteries and comes back through the veins. The lungs keep the blood pure by giving it fresh air. The joints of the fingers are called knuckles.

Only a baby small,
Dropt from the skies;
Only a laughing face,
Two sunny eyes;

VI.

Only two cherry lips,

One chubby nose;
Only two little hands,

Ten little toes.
