Of all the youths I ever saw	A
None were so wicked vain or silly	B
So lost to shame and Sabbath law	A
As worldly TOM and BOB and BILLY	B
	-
For every Sabbath day they walked	C
Such was their gay and thoughtless nature	D
In parks or gardens where they talked	C
From three to six or even later	D
	-
SIR MACKLIN was a priest severe	E
In conduct and in conversation	F
It did a sinner good to hear	G
Him deal in ratiocination	F
	-
He could in every action show	H
Some sin and nobody could doubt him	I
He argued high he argued low	H
He also argued round about him	I
	-
He wept to think each thoughtless youth	J
Contained of wickedness a skinful	H
And burnt to teach the awful truth	J
That walking out on Sunday's sinful	H
	-
Oh youths said he I grieve to find	K
The course of life you've been and hit on	F
Sit down said he and never mind	K
The pennies for the chairs you sit on	F
	-
My opening head is 'Kensington '	-
How walking there the sinner hardens	L
Which when I have enlarged upon	F
I go to 'Secondly' its 'Gardens '	-
	-
My 'Thirdly' comprehendeth 'Hyde '	-
Of Secresy the guilts and shameses	L
My 'Fourthly' 'Park' its verdure wide	M
My 'Fifthly' comprehends 'St James's '	-
	-
That matter settled I shall reach	N
The 'Sixthly' in my solemn tether	D
And show that what is true of each	N
Is also true of all together	D
	-
Then I shall demonstrate to you	O
According to the rules of WHATELY	H
That what is true of all is true	O
Of each considered separately	H
	-
In lavish stream his accents flow	H
TOM BOB and BILLY dare not flout him	I
He argued high he argued low	H
He also argued round about him	I
	-
Ha ha he said you loathe your ways	L
You writhe at these my words of warning	P
In agony your hands you raise	L
And so they did for they were yawning	P
	-
To Twenty firstly on they go	H
The lads do not attempt to scout him	I
He argued high he argued low	H
He also argued round about him	I
	-
Ho ho he cries you bow your crests	L
My eloquence has set you weeping	P
In shame you bend upon your breasts	L
And so they did for they were sleeping	P
	-
He proved them this he proved them that	Q
This good but wearisome ascetic	R
He jumped and thumped upon his hat	Q
He was so very energetic	R
	-
His Bishop at this moment chanced	Q
To pass and found the road encumbered	Q
He noticed how the Churchman danced	Q
And how his congregation slumbered	Q
	-
The hundred and eleventh head	Q
The priest completed of his stricture	D
Oh bosh the worthy Bishop said	Q
And walked him off as in the picture	D
