| Said Sue 'It is not yet come home | E |
| Besides it is not late ' | - |
| 'No matter that ' cries little Jem | F |
| 'I do not like to wait ' | - |

| Quick to the baker's Jemmy went | G |
| And ask'd 'Is dinner done ' | - |
| 'It is ' replied the baker's man | H |
| 'Then home with it I'll run ' | - |

| The people laugh'd and rude boys grinn'd | W |
| At mutton's hapless fall | X |
| But though ashamed young Jemmy cried | Y |
| 'Better lose part than all ' | - |

| The shoulder by the knuckle seized | Z |
| His hands both grasp'd it fast | A2 |
| And deaf to all their gibes and cries | B2 |
| He gain'd his home at last | A2 |
| - | |
| 'Impatience is a fault ' cries Jem | F |
| 'The baker told me true | O |
| In future I will patient be | B |
| And mind what says our Sue ' | - |
