Children’s Verse
JOHN WESLEY’S RULE Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. ENOUGH If your first line ends with cow, Rhyme o w with plough; Should your second nicely go, Seek o, as found in though; Thirdly, would you try this too, Double o is found in through; Fourth, a variance we are taught, Like a u is heard in thought. Speak you, fifthly, of sorrow, Give the o obscure in borough; In the sixth place you may pick up Sound of u p in hiccough; Turn your seventh couplet off, Assuming o f as in cough; Eighthly, sing you of a rock, Echo c k as in lough; Ninth and last, a final puff, Sound u fu, and cry—enough!
