Bereft of all reason and rule.
When a bail. badly aimed.
Struck the sc!Inolmastel's nose,
Which was long and quito famed
For its terrible blows;
Then he scow1ed on those Innocent scholars,
In way he could scowl when lie chose.
Come hither, my child,
Thou art writing see -
And rhe scboolmaster smiled.
Come now right on my knee:
The up-strokes. YOU see. are made lightly.
The down-strokes are heavy and free"
While that small boy was tanned.
Came his lauehter-a roar.
And Il Q teacher, 40 Glaud.
Was ow vexed aud lie swore;
For tie way that the awful b gtgeled.
Was something unheard of before.
The teacher was beat
And deprived of his wind.
So he stood "n his feet,
That small bOT. WHO Just grinned,

And felt of his back which wAs sAianed.
