IX. Going to School,

Good children when they're sent to school,

Will never loiter on the way:

With them this is a constant rule,

And not to stop to stare and play.

They never speak to any one,

Who talks when he should mind his task,

For Dunces frequently have on

A very black and frightful mask.

But when they've been at school all day,

Their tasks and lessons finish'd; then

Their friends will give them leave to play,

When they return from school again.
