Notes |
Text: Don't frighten your scholars with rap-rap-rap -- / But reserve for yourself the black dunce cap; / Seat your own self
on the three-legged stool, / The only fit place for a pedagogue fool! / Hie thee, young Dominic!-- back to you school! / And
teach the young dunces with blackboards and rule; / Don't mutter base nonsense to them as to me, / But contented remain at
your A,B,C.
