What do we want with poets here?
For Greece a snub, for Greek a sneer!
Must we still pore o'er classic text
Because our simple fathers said
It made "a gentleman"? What next?
Let the dead languages stay dead!
Hooray for Fact and Rule of Three!
Compulsory Greek is fiddle-de-dee.
Place me on Stock Exchange's steep
With nought to do but sell and buy
