Reading
THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER.
Chapter I. The birth of the Prince and the Pauper.

In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second


quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the
name of Canty, who did not want him. On the same day another
English child was born to a rich family of the name of Tudor, who did
want him. All England wanted him too. England had so longed for him,
and hoped for him, and prayed God for him, that, now that he was
really come, the people went nearly mad for joy. Mere acquaintances
hugged and kissed each other and cried. Everybody took a holiday, and
high and low, rich and poor, feasted and danced and sang, and got very
mellow; and they kept this up for days and nights together. By day, London was a sight to see, with gay
banners waving from every balcony and housetop, and splendid pageants marching along. By night, it
was again a sight to see, with its great bonfires at every corner, and its troops of revellers making merry
around them. There was no talk in all England but of the new baby, Edward Tudor, Prince of Wales, who
lay lapped in silks and satins, unconscious of all this fuss, and not knowing that great lords and ladies
were tending him and watching over himand not caring, either. But there was no talk about the other
baby, Tom Canty, lapped in his poor rags, except among the family of paupers whom he had just come to
trouble with his presence.
