| | | OLD Master Brown brought his ferule down, | |
| And his face looked angry and red. | |
| “Go, seat you there, now, Anthony Blair, | |
| Along with the girls,” he said. | |
| Then Anthony Blair, with a mortified air, | 5 |
| With his head down on his breast, | |
| Took his penitent seat by the maiden sweet | |
| That he loved, of all, the best. | |
| And Anthony Blair seemed whimpering there, | |
| But the rogue only made believe; | 10 |
| For he peeped at the girls with the beautiful curls, | |
| And ogled them over his sleeve. | | | | |
