LAWLESS DISRESPECT
Reading edition
Come, James, you well deserve the Cane, Your Acts my Ire have gained, To frown I am obliged again And dear Mama is pained. That you to such a Deed should stoop, And impiously should dare At Auntie’s Legs to bowl your Hoop And hurl her through the Air. That Lawlessness should stalk abroad Offends each righteous Heart, And Children, till Respect’s restor’d, Must very rightly smart.
