First Line: Knowledge - who hath it? Nay, not thou
Last Line: Now he knows all. O wondrous miracle!
Subject(s): Knowledge


KNOWLEDGE -- who hath it? Nay, not thou,
Pale student, pondering thy futile lore!
A little space it shall be thine, as now
'T is his whose funeral passes at thy door:
Last night a clown that scarcely knew to spell --
Now he knows all. O wondrous miracle!
