Eternal bores, that Attic set,
But, heaven be thanked, we'll "chuck" them yet.
"The Scian and the Teian Muse"
Ruled us as tyrants absolute;
Now even pedagogues refuse
To stodge us with such stale old fruit.
Why should the STANLEY-dowered West
Make the Anabasis a test?
They teach us about Marathon,
But what is Marathon to me?
