    '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.

The twig is so easily bended
I have banished the rule and the rod:
I have taught read more

The twig is so easily bended
I have banished the rule and the rod:
I have taught them the goodness of knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness of God;
My heart is the dungeon of darkness,
When I shut them for breaking a rule;
My frown is sufficient correction;
My love is the law of the school.
