18. The School Mistress. In every village
marked with little spire/ Embower'd in
trees and hardly known to fame/ There
dwells in lowly shed and mean attire/ A
matron old whom we school mistress name/
Who boasts unruly brats with birch to
tame./ They grieven sore in piteous
durance pent/ Aw'd by the power of this
relentless dame/ And oft times on vagaries
idly bent/ For unkempt hair or task
unconn'd are sorely shent./ Vide.
