THE MODELS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: As dick and bryan were at play
Last Line: Will act like dick and bryan.
Subject(s): Boys; Honesty


AS Dick and Bryan were at play
At trap, it came to pass,
Dick struck the ball, so far away,
He broke a pane of glass.

Though much alarmed, they did not run,
But walk'd up to the spot;
And offer'd for the damage done
What money they had got.

When accidents like this arise,
Dear children! this rely on,
All honest, honourable boys
Will act like Dick and Bryan.
