"Tis said there was a certain wight, Whose mother-wit was very bright, An errant rogue, and even bolder Than many rogues a good deal older; . . . This wight of ours disdained to study And hated books in soul and body; His lessons, therefore, were neglected Though he as often was corrected; But when there was a chance to play, Our rogue wold slily run away; Yet, had he given due attention, (So powerful was his comprehension,) He might have been the first of all In science, as in playing ball; He might have done as great exploits In study as in pitching quoits; . . . . |
