A View from a Child’s Eyes
Early Modern Period—Seventeenth Century (1600–1699)
Puritan beliefs imbedded values
based upon strict lessons on behavior and courtesy
with leisure time coming
only after work was completed.
Games being played four hundred years ago are
still common today!
Strict obedience to Father
I honor with respect
Ne’er to be usurped by Mother
Nor treated with neglect
I honor with respect
Ne’er to be usurped by Mother
Nor treated with neglect
Humble and submissive
I will always be
Ne’er conscious of free will
Else to suffer thee
I will always be
Ne’er conscious of free will
Else to suffer thee
During any mealtime
I will stand, not sit
Ne’er uttering a word
Else chance being hit
I will stand, not sit
Ne’er uttering a word
Else chance being hit
Once chores dutifully done
I’ll turn to schooling rules
Ne’er being disrespectful
Else face thy switching tools
I’ll turn to schooling rules
Ne’er being disrespectful
Else face thy switching tools
With feather pen in hand
I trace the alphabet
Ne’er forgetting prayer
Else evil will be met
I trace the alphabet
Ne’er forgetting prayer
Else evil will be met
While learning to read and write
I also learn math
Ne’er making many mistakes
Else accept thy wrath
I also learn math
Ne’er making many mistakes
Else accept thy wrath
With little playtime allowed
I welcome rest from work
Lummelen, all hid and hop frog*
Ne’er will I ever smurk
I welcome rest from work
Lummelen, all hid and hop frog*
Ne’er will I ever smurk
*Keep away, hide and seek, and
leap frog

What was your favorite past-time?
What was your favorite past-time?
My favorite pasttime and preseent time is, was, and will be reading. What else?
ReplyDeleteBut, of course! Like the Grey Poupon! Nothing better :-)
DeleteI remember a lot of them :-) Although the copy of Heidi we had was one that just had a plain tan coloured covered
ReplyDeleteI made up a lot of silly characters and wrote little stories as a kid and early teenager. The name "Earl" cracked me up as a kid. I made a little hand signal, kind of like an "OK" sign with the thumb and forefinger joioned in a circle, then I would run up to people and say "Earl!!" and thrust my hand out. I have not told anyone that in years. My frineds and family still make fun of me about that and I don't blame them. I know it's wierd, but you asked. I'm going to copy this in case I have to explain this stuff again,thanks!
ReplyDeleteI read a lot when I was a child, and of course, I still do. But when I wasn't reading, my very favorite thing to do was to play with my toy farm. I had a barn, fencing, and lots of animals to move around and play-act with. There was a farmer and his wife, but I loved the animals the most.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, does this bring back memories! Heidi was one of my favorite books when I was growing up. Then, of course, I learned to read with Dick and Jane. Thanks for sharing.
