George Worthy was the best of boys,
The most industrious in the school;
For study he forsook his toys,
And always adhered to this good rule
![Page 5: How a little boy became Lord Mayor of London...Ithappenedoneday,thataGoldsmith'she passed, Whereplaterichandrarewasdisplayed: SaysGeorge,whenhesaw it, "I'vehititatlast!

Some trade," says George Worthy," I surely
should be,
To be idle, all good boys refuse ;
But yet there's a puzzle the thought causes me,
And that is what trade shall I choose Vi

It happened one day, that a Goldsmith's he
passed,
Where plate rich and rare was displayed:
Says George, when he saw it," I've hit it at last!
This one shall indeed be my trade.2

Although he had chosen his trade in such haste,
George soon proved an excellent hand ;
He quickly excelled by industry and taste,
And first for good judgment did stand.

When old enough grown, George a partner
became,
And so diligent was he in trade,
That before he had been many years in the same
He a very large fortune had made4

For skill as an artist, and honesty too,
Ere long, George obtained such renown,
That he was intrusted the best things to do,
And selected to make the Queen's crown.5

He served the great offices one at a time,
To do good he left nothing undone,*...
He commended each virtue, he pitied e^ch.
And now he is LORD MAYOR OF LONDON
