A fifth the knight's fair fingers clasped.
Filled with Love's longing blisses ;
A sixth plays coy for awhile, but at last
Ilis cheeks and lips she kisses.
The knight is crafty, nor thinks he soon
To open his eyelids wary;
r>ut quietly lies, to be kissed in the
moon.
By fairy after fairy.
THE JESUITS.
Pedagogy was the specialty of the
Jesuits, and although they sought to
pursue it in the interest of their order,
yet sometimes the passion for pedagogy
itself, the only human passion that was
left in them, gained the mastery ; they
forgot their aim, the repression of
reason and the exaltation of faith, and,
iu.stead of reducing men to a state of
childhood, as was their purpose, out of
the children they involuntarily made
men by their instruction. The greatest
men of the Revolution were educated
111 Jesuit schools. Without the training
tliere acfjuired, that great intellectual
agitation wouhl perha])s not have
broken out till a century later.
