Yet, if our children must such stories hear,
Let us provide some antidotes to fear;
For all such errors in the minds of youth,
In any mind, the only cure is truth;
And truths collected may in time decide
Upon such facts, or prove, at least, a guide.
If, then, permitted I will fairly state
One fact, nor doubt the story I relate;
I for your perfect acquiescence call, }
’Tis of myself I tell.”——“O! tell us all!” 200}
