    If I asked her master he’d give me a cask a day;
    But she, with the beer at hand, not a gill would arrange!

    The High King of Glory permit her to get the mange.

    Oh, a capital ship for an ocean trip,
    Was the Walloping Window Blind;
    No gale that blew dismayed her crew
    Or troubled the captain’s mind.
    —Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    And hearts that once beat high for praise
    Now feel that pulse no more!
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    At school boys become gluttons and slovens, and, instead of cultivating domestic affections, very early rush into the libertinism which destroys the constitution before it is formed; hardening the heart as it weakens the understanding.

    The boys think they can all be athletes, and the girls think they can all be singers. That’s the way to fame and success. ...as a group blacks must give up their illusions.
