Ha, ha, the Greeking o’t!
Latin Syntax vexed him sore,
When he tried the Greeking o’t,
For Cæsar stands at Homer’s door
When folks try the Greeking o’t.
Quod and ut he understood,
At “speech direct” they called him good,
But qui with the subjunctive mood
Was the crook in the lot at the Greeking o’t!
One thing truth commands to tell,
