On a School-Master.
A Country Pedant of soul soft and silly,(Whose reading nere exceeded William Lilly
In's Ranks and Files of Substantives) began
His Brags to a more learned Countryman,
And said, he took a Child the other day,
From women-tutors, which (e're long) should say
His Grammer Rules by heart, and (in two years)
He'd make him a good Scholar; th' other fleers,
And tuswers him agen, Come Doctor, come,
You know that Charity begins at home.
