“As a sharp spur maketh a horse to move,
Under a man that should war prove,
Right so a yard may make a child,
To learn well his lesson and to be mild.”
Lo! children, here may ye all hear and see,
How all children chastised should be.
And therefore, childer, look ye do well,
And no hard beating shall you befall.
Thus may ye all be right good men,
God grant you grace so to preserve you! Amen.
