Four years for learning things not worth a cent!

A year of lounging in that sacred place,

Then round the world to see the human race

I wandered, and my wonder grew apace.

More than seven marvels had the world for me,

And this the greatest: why the poor should be

Slaves of the rich men, when they might be free.

But having had sufficient time to cool

My fancy in this tough world’s roughest school

I give up life’s conundrums—as a rule.
