JULY—Long days and Long ears.

THE USHER OF THE BLACK ROD.

Boys
go back
in coaches.
Thrashing
time
approaches.
♃ ♒ ♈
Now
School-storms
reign;
☌ ☊ ⚹
Begins
again
the
Hurry—cane.

The time of holiday is fled from little Master J.,

He's going to the school instead of going to the play;

His master is come home, his fate 'tis easy to forebode,

And heartily he wishes now the "schoolmaster abroad:"

He cannot love him, though he be sweet-temper'd, 'tis in vain,

Unable is the boy to see the sugar in the cane!
