EPIGRAPH: When the children have been good, / That is, be it understood, / Good at meal-times, good at play, / Good all night and good all day— / They shall have the pretty things / Merry Christmas always brings. / Naughty, romping girls and boys / Tear their clothes and make a noise, / Spoil their pinafores and frocks, / And deserve no Christmas-box. / Such as these shall never look / At this pretty Picture-Book.
