Did your good father's money go for this?

Where are the fruits of education, where

The morals which at first distinguished you,

The faith which promised to adorn your age?

And why such wastefulness outbreaking now,

When heretofore you loved economy?

Explain this pulling-down and building-up

Poor Clairvaux, which your father bought because

Clairvaux he found it, and so left to you,

Not a gilt-gingerbread big baby-house!
