[Were Parents but more cautious whom they trust]
Were Parents but more cautious whom they trust,And to good Masters more exact and just,
Great Revolutions soon in Schools they'd find,
Pleasing to both, and useful to Mankind:
‘ And each his several Charge might well command,
‘ Would all but stoop to what they understand ’
