The School Mistress. In every village marked with little spire/ Embower'd in trees and hardly known to fame/ There dwells in lowly shed and mean attire/ A matron old whom we school mistress name/ Who boasts unruly brats with birch to tame./ They grieven sore in piteous durance pent/ Aw'd by the power of this relentless dame/ And oft times on vagaries idly bent/ For unkempt hair or task unconn'd are sorely shent./ Vide. Shenston's School Mistress.
