Complain'd for Poll, her only child,
Who's plac'd below she s told,
Some poorer girls,tho 'tit confeft
They read, and write, and spell, the
This makes her fret and scold.
But what's all this to Prim's com
plaint ;
Who favs her little darling went
To school, thro' wet and cold ;
The tyrant whip'd his back,fhe swore,
Tho never- struck a blow before,
And almost nine years old.
The PEDAGOGUES Complaint.
SHOULD any one desire to know.
What honest calling here below
Distresses most with care :
I'll tell him quick—the Pedagogue,
Whether an honest man or rogue.
Partakes the greatest share.
When once engag'd, his freedom's
done;
That time he's but a Have :
Thro thick and thin,to school must go,
In heat and cold, in rain and snow,
Or else he's deem'd a knave.
gone,
Till his three months, or more, are
Ar.d then, alas ! when he gets there.
The fhatter'd house may want repair,
The doors, perhaps, are broke ;
The windows dark, with open walls,
And thro the roof the water falls,
The chimney too does smoke.
Sometimes, perhaps the parish 'Squire,
Exclaims, The master's pay is higher
Than in the neighb'ring school ;
Old Simon fays, He whipp'd my Joe,
Till the poor rogue could hardly go ;
The fellow's half a fool.
Seat of the Muses.
And lo ! behold there's little fire,
The boy was hinder'd by his fire.
To do some chores at home :
The small boys cry, the great ones
At length the fire fends out the heat,
Each one's compet'd to take hi? feat,
And each his wants prepare :
Now full a dozen pens, or more.
And copies wanted, half a score ;
Around “ Pray matter" goes.
Says Billy, Nathan's got my feat,
And Sally's got the pen, fays Bet,
She knew to her belongs ;
The master hems and rubs his hair,
(For know in school he durst not swear)
And fays he'll right their wrongs.
Begin to make their brawls ;
Tom pinch'd me,fir, fays little Dick,
And he gives Tom a private kick,
And down the young one falls.
The Mailer thus provok'd to wroth,
With equal justice whips them both,
And then expeds repose ;
But what the wisest can't prevent,
Lo ! from behind a rueful scent
Fills his sagacious rose.
But pause a minute and you'll find,
New troubles rife to vex his mind.
He hears the people's tongue ;
Old Wil and Benjamin will prate,
And fay, the master comes too late,
And keeps their boys too long.
But while he turns to still their noise,
Behind his back the lesser boys,
Thus toils and care perplex his breast,
Which rob his mind and limbs of rest,
While thus confin'd in school ;
But when he's done some folks will
crowd,
Some whifner, and some talk aloud,
The master only's dumb.

He's naught to do but eat and play,
Quite free from all control.

" How Jrivilous appears
the gaudy equipage and the
splendid manlion, compared
with the proud integrity of
honor—and the dignity of an

occur to those who are entering

life, that though indufoy and

that a fortune is only honoura
