First Line: The tender infant, meek and mild
Last Line: Who's hat was in his hand.
Alternate Author Name(s): Johnson, Dr.
Variant Title(s): Parodies Of The Hermit Of Warkworth
Subject(s): Percy, Thomas (1729-1811)
The tender infant meek and mild
Fell down upon a stone;
The nurse took up the squealing child
But yet the child squealed on.
I put my hat upon my head
And walked into the Strand,
And there I met another man
Who's hat was in his hand.
