A Little Pretty Pocket-book/Peg-Farthing

by John Newbery

Peg-Farthing.

Soon as the Ring is once compos'd,
The Coin is in the Centre clos'd;
And then the wish'd-for Prize to win,
The Top that drives it out must spin.

Rule of Life.

Be silent if you doubt your Sense,
And always speak with Diffidence.
