      ’Twould be amiss to add to this

      At present, for he died,

      In full possession of his senses,

      The day before my tale commences.

      One half his gold his four-year-old

      Son Paul was known to win,

      And Beatrix, whose age was six,

      For all the rest came in,

      Perceiving which, their Uncle Ben did

      A thing that people said was splendid.

      For by the hand he took them, and

      Remarked in accents smooth:

      "One thing I ask. Be mine the task

      These stricken babes to soothe!

      My country home is really charming:

      I’ll teach them all the joys of farming."
