| I'll leave it on the floor | B |
| My pincushion has others in | A |
| Mamma has plenty more | B |
| A miser will I never be | C |
| Said little heedless Emily | C |
| - | |
| So tripping on to giddy play | D |
| She left the pin behind | E |
| For Betty's broom to whisk away | D |
| Or some one else to find | E |
| She never gave a thought indeed | F |
| To what she might to morrow need | F |
| - | |
| Next day a party was to ride | G |
| To see an air balloon | H |
| And all the company beside | G |
| Were dress'd and ready soon | H |
| But she poor girl she could not stir | I |
| For just a pin to finish her | I |
| - | |
| 'Twas vainly now with eye and hand | J |
| She did to search begin | A |
| There was not one not one the band | J |
| Of her pelisse to pin | A |
| She cut her pincushion in two | K |
| But not a pin had slidden through | K |
| - | |
| At last as hunting on the floor | B |
| Over a crack she lay | D |
| The carriage rattled to the door | B |
| Then rattled fast away | D |
| Poor Emily she was not in | A |
| For want of just a single pin | A |
| - | |
| There's hardly anything so small | L |
| So trifling or so mean | M |
| That we may never want at all | L |
| For service unforseen | M |
| And those who venture wilful waste | N |
| May woeful want expect to taste | N |
