PHILOSOPHY IN SPORT.

VOL. III.

'Tis not enough that Greek and Roman page,
At stated hours, the sprightly boy engage;
Ev'n in his pastimes he requires a friend,
To warn, and teach him safely to unbend;
And levying thus, and with an easy sway,
A tax of profit from his very play,

T'impress a value, not to be eras'd,

On moments, squander'd else, and running all to waste.
