And to her gown the sturdiest rogue can pin.

Aided by these, and spells, and tell-tale birds,

Her power they dread and reverence her words.

To learning's second seats we now proceed,

Where humming students gilded primers read;

Or books with letters large and pictures gay,

To make their reading but a kind of play—

"Reading made Easy," so the titles tell;

But they who read must first begin to spell.
