English poem
The Result Of Cruelty
by Mrs. Turner (1775–1846)
Jack Parker was a cruel boy, For mischief was his sole employ; And much it grieved his friends to find His thoughts so wickedly inclined.
He thought it clever to deceive, And often ramble without leave; And ev'ry animal he met He dearly loved to plague and fret.
But all such boys, unless they mend, May come to an unhappy end, Like Jack, who got a fractured skull Whilst bellowing at a furious bull.
