&lt;p&gt;"Sweet Innocent," Mrs. Kirby cried,&lt;br /&gt;And started from her nook,&lt;br /&gt;"That horrid fly's dressed to hide &lt;br /&gt;The sharpness of the hook."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as I've heard, this little trout&lt;br /&gt;Was young and foolish, too&lt;br /&gt;And so he thought he'd venture out&lt;br /&gt;To see if it were true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And round about the girls he played&lt;br /&gt;With many a longing look,&lt;br /&gt;And, "Dear me," to himself he said,&lt;br /&gt;"I'm sure that's not a hook."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can but give one little pluck,&lt;br /&gt;Let's see, and so I will."&lt;br /&gt;Thus on he went, and lo, it stuck&lt;br /&gt;Quite through his little gill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he, love-sick and sicker grew,&lt;br /&gt;With hollow voice he cried–&lt;br /&gt;"Mrs. Kirby, had I minded you,&lt;br /&gt;I need not thus have died."&lt;/p&gt;</text>
