All in the moonlight pale;
But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady!
And quite at the end of my tail!"

So away they went with a hop and a bound,
And they hopped the whole world three times round;
And who so happy,--O who,
As the Duck and the Kangaroo?

MR. RUSKIN

says, in his _List of the Best Hundred Authors_--"Surely the most
beneficent and innocent of all looks yet produced is 'The Book of
Nonsense,' with its corollary carols, inimitable and refreshing, and
perfect in rhythm. I really don't know any author to whom I am half so
grateful for my idle self as Edward Lear. I shall put him first of my
hundred authors."
