Miss Sophy, one fine sunny day, / Left her work and ran away. / When she reach'd the garden-gate, / She found it lock'd, but would not wait, / So tried to climb and scramble o'er / A gate as high as any door.
But little girls should never climb, / And Sophy won't another time; / For when upon the highest rail, / Her frock was caught upon a nail: / She lost her hold, and, sad to tell, / Was hurt and bruised -- for down she fell.
