• 'Tis strange how like a very dunce,
  Man, with his bumps upon his sconce,
  Has lived so long, and yet no knowledge he
  Has had, till lately, of Phrenology—
  A science that by simple dint of
  Head-combing he should find a hint of,
  When scratching o'er those little pole-hills
  The faculties throw up like mole hills.
