It needed wit as well as war
To keep the school in order.
But he has shown both wit and grit,
And patience linked about it.
"Ho ho! ha ha! Tra-la-la-la!"—
Young Arty hears him shout it.
Arty had hoped he could have coped
With Bill, and licked him hollow;
That Jack had kicked, and Sandy moped,
And Pat refused to follow.
