TWO THIEVES
by Lewis Carroll
TWO THIEVES
(To the Misses Drury.) -
TWO thieves went out to steal one day
Thinking that no one knew it:
Three little maids, I grieve to say,
Encouraged them to do it. -
'Tis said that little children should
Encourage men in stealing!
But these, I've always understood,
Have got no proper feeling. -
An aged friend, who chanced to pass
Exactly at the minute,
Said "Children! Take this Looking-glass,
And see your badness in it." -
