That with caution and care, as wisdom ought,
It may creep along the path of thought,
And not with fitful flickering glow
Will o’ the wisp it to and fro.
There, too, if you hear the gentleman through
The term, to every lecture true,
You’ll learn that a stroke of human thinking,
Which you had practised once as free
And natural as eating and drinking,
Cannot be made without one! two! three!
