Old Mother Mitten<BR>
And her pretty Kitten,<BR>
Took supper, one night rather late;

<BR>
But they sat down to tea,<BR>
And the dog came to see<BR>
Pussy cut the meat up on her plate.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_02.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
The dog and the cat<BR>
Were having a chat,<BR>
When Pussy cried out with a mew;
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_03.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
Dear old mother Mitten,<BR>
Just look at your kitten,<BR>
She's gonig to drink mead with you.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_04.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
When the supper was over,<BR>
The kitten moreover,<BR>
Did stand on the top of her head.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_05.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
So the dog he declares,<BR>
They must sleep in their chairs,<BR>
And none of them get into bed.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_06.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
So when they awoke,<BR>
Miss Pussy first spoke,<BR>
And to the old Lady said she;
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_07.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
My dear if you please,<BR>
Take this bread and cheese,<BR>
And I'll give you a hot cup of tea.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>

<BR>
At the table they sat,<BR>
The dog and the cat,<BR>
With cards they were trying to play;
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_09.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
But the dog's beard is long,<BR>
Which the cat thinks is wrong,<BR>
And here she is shaving poor Tray.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_10.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
Having shaved Mr. Tray,<BR>
She hastens away,<BR>
And dresses herself for a walk;
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_11.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
And when she came in,<BR>
Told where she had been,<BR>
To have with the neighbours a talk.
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_12.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
Says granny indeed,<BR>
I believe you're agreed,<BR>
To marry miss Puss, Mr. Tray;
<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR><BR>
<A HREF="earlycomics.html#comical.cat"><IMG SRC="cc.mitten_1825_13.jpg"border="0"></a>
<BR>
The dog made a bow,<BR>
The cat she said mow,<BR>
And I think they got married that day.
