TUMBLE UP.

Reading edition

Illustration from Sweets for Leisure Hours Amusing Tales for Little Readers

Tumble down, tumble up, never mind it, my sweet, No, no, never beat the poor ground; ’Twas your fault you could not stand straight on your feet, Fall you will, if you twirl yourself round. Oh dear! what a noise:—will a noise make it well? Will crying wash bruises away? Suppose that it should bleed a little, and swell, ’Twill all be gone down in a day. That’s right; be a man, love, and dry up your tears, Come, smile, and I’ll give you a kiss; If you live in the world but a very few years, You must bear greater troubles than this.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
