Now, Master Puppy,

Sit up, if you please;

This is for your good,

Not in order to teaze.

When a nice little doggie

Seems anxious to learn,

A kind little master

Will not from him turn.

Now you must not be snappish,

But just do your best;

A five minutes’ lesson,

And then you shall rest.

Little Katie and Baby

Are anxious to see

If you try, like a good pup,

To imitate me.

Old Boxer, your friend too,

Is curling his tail,

And pricking his ears,

For fear you should fail.

But if you are careful,

I plainly can tell,

You will grow quite accomplished,

And do very well.
