Young William Goodchild was a boy / Who lov'd to give his playmates joy; / And when his mother sent "his" cake, / Rejoic'd for his companions' sake.
"Come round," he cried, "each take a slice, / Each have his proper share of ice; / We'll eat it up among us, here: / My birth-day comes but once a year."
