1. Good-Day! Madam Quack with your young in your track, Quite early they're out, What are they about— Those bright little things With their short downy wings? I'm glad of your luck, you're a good mother duck! And if young folks did know half the joy they bestow When attentive and good—they would try all they could. 2. You know sir, I see what young ducklings should be; Your taste I commend, My civil young friend; They're beauties you see and obedient to me. In ponds they can paddle, On land they can waddle, They dive and they flutter, Quack, quack, they can utter: I'm glad they can learn, and great fame they will earn.
