VII.

No chair he hath, the awful Pedagogue,

Such as would magisterial hams imbed,

But sitteth lowly on a beechen log,

Secure in high authority and dread:

Large, as a dome for learning, seems his head,

And like Apollo's, all beset with rays,

Because his locks are so unkempt and red,

And stand abroad in many several ways:—

No laurel crown he wears, howbeit his cap is baize.
