Mother's Knee.
The oldest school to teach the law, and teach it deeply, too, Dividing what should not be done from what
each one should do, Was not in Rome nor Ispahan nor by the Euxine Sea; But it held its sway ere history's

race. Without its teaching, where would all the best of living be? 'Twas planned by Heaven this earth to
leaven-the school of Mother's Knee.
