Speaker.

My duty is to take down several pegs

Whoever spars at any member when he’s on his legs.

Mr. Alec Boyce resumes.

The thread of my discourse is tangled; what I want to say

Is this, that boys are often awfully unfair in play,

Trench on the rights of youngsters, tease and frighten,

Make heavier the burdens which they ought to lighten,

Turn bullies, fag the weakest, and, in short,
