About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1841. Not illustrated.

Time! whose sharp scythe not bubbles bursts alone, But mows down gorgeous palaces of stone! With glee enthusiastic I devoured The wondrous tales in youthful volumes stored: Of giant killing Jack each martial feat, And giants slain by valour or deceit How Jack great honour hasty pudding gained, And wit o'er strength superior force obtained; And how he climbed the bean-stalk, kid by kid, And slew the monster on the summit hid.
