to play, he d smile on them and never mind the noise. So when his time came, honest man, the neigh-bors all declared That one of keener intellect could better havebeen spared; By young and old his loss was mourned in cot-tage and in hall, For if he d done them little good, he d done noharm at all. In time they made a saint of him, and issued a decree —Since he had loved his ease so well, and been so glad to seeThe children frolic round him and to smile upon their play —That school boys for his sake should have a weekly holiday. They gave his name unto the day, that as theyears roll by His memory might still be green; and thatsthe reason why We speak his name with gratitude, and oftenerby far Than that of any other saint in all the cal-endar. Then, lads and lassies, great and small, give ear to what I say —Refrain from work on Saturdays as strictly as you may ;So shall the saint your patron be and prosper all you do —And when examinations come he 11 see you safely through. 128
