The Pigs and the Charcoal-burner

The old Pig said to the little pigs,'In the forest is truffles and mast,

Follow me then, all ye little pigs,

Follow me fast!'The Charcoal-burner sat in the

With his chin oil his thumb,

And saw the big Pig and the little

Chuffling come.

He watched 'neath a green and giant bough,

And the pigs in the

Made a wonderful grisling and

And greedy sound.

And when, full-fed, they were gone, and

Walked her starry ways,

He stared with his cheeks in his

At his sullen blaze.
