THE BALL PLAYERS.

Up goes the ball with might and main,

And soon it cometh down again;

Ups and down, I've heard them say

For many a year, is the world's way!

Up goes the ball,—like a goblet-cup;

Hold your hand as you send it up!

Down it comes,—ere it reach the ground,

Catch the ball so firm and round.

[Pg 33]

An up and down, that is the way,

With a good round ball, that you must play;

Up, high as you can, then down again,

Five and five, and a double ten.
