English poem
Peter.--Nay, I shall not. I shall sit down under this tree
by Mary Howitt (1799–1888)
Peter.—Nay, I shall not. I shall sit down under this tree; I’ve had nothing but ill-luck to-day. Come, sit down by me, And I’ll tell you all, Zedekiah, for I feel quite forlorn; Oh dear! oh dear! I’m lamed now!—I’ve sate down upon a thorn!
