Now full two years were past and gone,
And Granny thought her work was done.
Exhausted was her village Lore:—
'Twas time He should know something more,
She oft would say—for such a mind
So form'd, to Learning so inclin'd,
Howe'er instructed and improv'd,
From female care should be remov'd;
Should that Instruction now receive
Which learned men alone can give.
And Granny thought her work was done.
