This criminal and dunce detector

May save from many a useless lecture,

From toiling quarter after quarter

In filling riddle sieves with water.

We license none for teaching schools,

Unless by Gall’s and Spurzheim’s rules

We find his sconce, in every section,

Bears phrenological inspection.

We apprehended Brougham’s schoolmaster,

And took his head sheer off—in plaster,
