[7 Quoth Jed to Tim, where did our John]
Quoth Jed to Tim, where did our John
Such heaps of knowledge gather.
As if in Paradise he'd been,
With Eve—or Satan, rather?
Such heaps of knowledge gather.
As if in Paradise he'd been,
With Eve—or Satan, rather?
Quoth Tim, I guess that famous tree
That once in Eden grew,
Hath been transplanted to our town,
And got a name quite new.
That once in Eden grew,
Hath been transplanted to our town,
And got a name quite new.
For sure as Latin's learned at college
At Braintree John picked up his knowledge.
