1. Who learns my lesson complete? / Boss, journeyman, apprentice -- churchman and atheist, / The stupid and the wise thinker -- parents and offspring -- merchant, clerk, / porter, and customer, / Editor, author, artist; and schoolboy -- Draw nigh and commence; / It is no lesson -- it lets down the bars to a good lesson, / And that to another, and every one to another still.
2. The great laws take and effuse without argument; / I am of the same style, for I am their friend, / I love them quits and quits -- I do not halt and make salaams.
