Hilaire Belloc - Henry King

Hilaire Belloc - Henry King

The Chief Defect of Henry King br Was chewing little bits of String. br At last he swallowed some which tied br Itself in ugly Knots inside. br br Physicians of the Utmost Fame br Were called at once; but when they came br They answered, as they took their Fees, br "There is no Cure for this Disease. br br "Henry will very soon be dead.'' br His Parents stood about his Bed br Lamenting his Untimely Death, br When Henry, with his Latest Breath, br br Cried, "Oh, my Friends, be warned by me, br That Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, and Tea br Are all the Human Frame requires...'' br With that, the Wretched Child expires.
