Sure you have not lost your reason; Why should children churlish be, Only for a little season— For one moment play with me? 2d Child. Not one moment! grace is stronger Than the snares the wicked lay: Sin it is to linger longer; I will keep the Sabbath-day. 1st Child. Haste away then, since you dare not Take your pleasure; bend your knee, When, and where you will,-I care not; You shall never play with me. 2d Child. I can pardon bad behaviour, Nor will I neglect to pray, That we may with Christ our Saviour THE SABBATH. We must not play on Sunday, But we may play on Monday, On Tuesday and on Wednesday, On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, We must not work on Sunday, But we may work on Monday, We must not buy on Sunday, Because it is a sin; But we may buy on Monday, We must not sell on Sunday, Because it is a sin; But we may sell on Monday, On Tuesday and on Wednesday, On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, DIALOGUE ON THE WORKS OF GOD. 1st Boy. 2d Boy. 1st Boy. 2d Boy. 1st Boy. 2d Boy. 1st Boy. 2d Boy.
