Ellen
appears in a deplorable Condition, her Frock and Spencer splashed
with Mud. Is this Miss Ellen, late so gay? Ah! no, it cannot be,"
you'll say; But 'tis, indeed, and much I fear Of misbehaviour you
will hear. Ellen, in spite of promise made, Would please herselfe
wile out she staid; Vainly the maid reproved the child; She'd gather
every berry wild, And scrambled up - ah! sad to tell, A slippery
bank, from whence she fell Into a muddy ditch, where all Her clothes
were spoil'd - unlucky fall!
