Iv.--Her Knowledge

How much she knows no one can tell; But she can read and write and spell, Divide and multiply and add, And name the apples Thomas had When John enticed him five to sell.

For "jelly" she does not say "jell," Nor horrify us with "umbrell," For all of which we're very glad-- How much she knows!

She knows the oyster by his shell, Detects the newsboy by his yell, Enumerates the bones in shad, And thinks my poetry is bad. Well! well! well! well! well! well! well! well! How much she knows!
