Little souls slights discover;Big souls pass em over. Big souls bear their trouble;Little souls sizz and bubble. Little souls oft ferment;Big souls are content. Big souls tumble slowly ;Little souls — roly poly ! Big souls, like as not,When its fitting, do get hot. But little pots all grandeur spoil.Ill think a bit before I boil! 90 RHYMES AND JINGLES. NELLS NOTIONS. Three-year-old Nell by the window-pane
