A Century of Parody and Imitation - Unknown

Ah! luckless wight, who cannot then repeat

'Corduroy Colloquy,'—or 'Ki, Kæ, Kod,'—

Full soon his tears shall make his turfy seat

More sodden, tho' already made of sod,

For Dan shall whip him with the word of God,—

Severe by rule, and not by nature mild,

He never spoils the child and spares the rod,

But spoils the rod and never spares the child,

And soe with holy rule deems he is reconcil'd.
