    'Tis pleasing to be school'd in a strange tongue
    By female lips and eyes--that is, I mean,
    When both the teacher and the taught are young,
    As was the case, at least, where I have been;
    They smile so when one's right; and when one's wrong
    They smile still more.

Grave is the Master's look; his forehead wears
Thick rows of wrinkles, prints of worrying cares:
Uneasy lies the heads of all that rule,
His worst of all whose kingdom is a school.
Supreme he sits; before the awful frown
That binds his brows the boldest eye goes down;
Not more submissive Israel heard and saw
At Sinai's foot the Giver of the Law.

There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same
state or principle in which you are; a transfusion takes place;
he is you, and you are he; there is a teaching; and by no
unfriendly chance or bad company can he ever quite lose the
benefit.
