'Tis taught by philosophic schools

The human race is mostly fools.

And once a year you see this truth

Ably set forth by jocund youth,

Who broach the tenets of the creed

Plainly that he who runs may read.

But Aged Idiots, 'tis not meet

For you to run along the street,

And with a manner bold and sly

Pin tags on ladies passing by,

Or sit upon the curb and look

For fools to snatch your pocket-book.
