But what was said and done at home
  She always minded well,
And, when she went abroad, the whole
  She would be sure to tell.

People were cautious what they said
  Where'er she chanced to come,
For well they knew that every word
  Would straight be carried home.

The teacher who instructed her,
  Had made this wholesome rule,
To punish every child who told
  Of what was done in school.

But Judith loved to talk so well,
  No rule could hold her long;
She could not bear to be restrained,
  Nor learn to hold her tongue.

One day a scholar misbehaved,
  This made the teacher fret,
And Judith told the whole affair
  To every one she met.

But, when the active school-dame heard
  Her laws were disobeyed,
To find the naughty tell-tale child,
  A search she quickly made.
