On Back and Belly they bestow much Cost,
But care not if their Precious Souls be lost:
Are they not guilty of Prodigious Folly
That teach them Courtship, & neglect what's Holy?
A Child untutored, (a mere lump of Sin,)
A Child untutor'd, (a meer lump of Sin,)
May justly curse its cause of having been.
