English poem
The Models
by Mrs. Turner (1775–1846)
As Dick and Bryan were at play At trap, it came to pass Dick struck the ball, and far away, He broke a pane of glass.
Though much alarmed, they did not run, But walk'd up to the spot; And offer'd for the damage done What money they had got.
When accidents like this arise, Dear children! this rely on: All honest, honourable boys Will act like Dick and Bryan.
