Away with 'em I say; and tell their Schoolmistress, What truants they are, and bid her pay 'em soundly. O, O, O. Come, come, ye Gallows-clappers. Alaffe, will no body beg pardon for The poor old boys? Sir, gentle Sir, a word with you. To stranger's Sir I can be gentle. Good, Now mark that fellow, he speaks Extempore. Extempore call you him? he's a dogged fellow To the three poor old things there, fie upon him. Do men of such fair years here go to school? They would die dunces else.
