Classic Poem

Y OU'RE a moderate reciter, you've a pretty knack of pleading,
You're a pretty story-writer, and your verse is pretty reading,
You've a pretty style in dancing, and your voice is rather pretty,
If your plays are not entrancing they are moderately witty,
Then your satire's rather comic, and of letters you've a smattering,
While on questions astronomic you've a pretty trick of chattering,
Your music's commonplace with no unusual ability,
At games you show some grace with no remarkable agility.
Tho' you're moderate at all, you've mastered not a thing of them;
So a sciolist I call you — and the very prince and king of them.
