This is a great example of William Blake's expression of the dialectic process. There are two nurse's songs in Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience. Each one reveals the inner feelings of a nurse as she is watching over a group of her wards. Each poem is in contrast to the other and speaking through the other.

This is a shorter episode because these poems are both more on the surface. But they are valuable to understanding Blake's book as a whole.
