'Tis One by One - the Father counts - And then a Tract between Set Cypherless - to teach the Eye The Value of it's Ten - Until the peevish Student Acquire the Quick of Skill - Then Numerals are dowered back - Adorning all the Rule -
'Tis mostly Slate and Pencil - And Darkness on the School Distracts the Children's fingers - Still the Eternal Rule
Regards least Cypherer alike With Leader of the Band - And every separate Urchin's Sum - Is fashioned for his hand.
