A chaise is waiting at the door, in which he's doom'd to go,

He knows and feels its very wheels will bear him to his woe;

The thing he rides in he derides, and there, for joy, would dance

If master, chaise, and all, were safe at Père la Chaise, in France!

To force a young and chubby boy to school, away from home,

'S like taking a young Regulus to Carthage, back from Rome:

Upon his bed, more like a board, he cries and lies awake,

His fruit is fruitless, and he feels he doesn't need his cake!

His bat is chang'd into a bawl, the rod'll never stop,

It's always whipping bottom, now, instead of whipping top:
