Additional quotes by Thomas Hood

Ben Battle was a soldier bold, And used to war's alarms;
But a cannon-ball took off his legs, So he laid down his arms.

Never go to France
Unless you know the lingo,
If you do, like me,
You will repent, by jingo.

Boughs are daily rifled By the gusty thieves,
And the book of Nature Getteth short of leaves.

Spurned by the young, but hugged by the old To the very verge of the churchyard mould. - Thomas Hood
