For he must shun all jest and play,
And brood o'er folios night and day,
Mosaic and Rabbinic lore,
And books, which he may think a bore.
The Bible is not half enough:
Glosses there are and other stuff,
In which he erudite must be,
Especially in theology,
In all the Talmud may relate,
In authors' quarrels and debate,
