First lines
I'm askin' you'll be easy for a bit, Sir, The lad's had little but a thrush's schoolin', The blue skies and the fields, the little whipster, 'Tis time enough for something more -- (But whisper) He'll go the better for an easy rulin'.
Herself was always for the bit of readin' But Denny here, he's great for growin' things, There's not a primrose that he'd not be heedin' Herself is right 'tis graver things he's needin' The thrush is tamer when you clip his wings.
