A Little Pretty Pocket-book/Hop-Scotch

by John Newbery

Hop-Scotch.

First make with Chalk an oblong Square,
With wide Partitions here and there;
Then to the first a Tile convey;
Hop in—then kick the Tile away,

Rule of Life.

Strive with good Sense to stock your Mind,
And to that Sense be Virtue join'd.
