Are there not several stanzas missing from this poem here?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.216.108.60 (talk) 04:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC) For example, I remember:

"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
   And make errors few people could bear;
You complain about everyone's English but yours --
   Do you really think this is quite fair?"

"I make lots of mistakes," Father William declared,
   "But my stature these days is so great
That no critic can hurt me -- I've got them all scared,
   And to stop me it's now far too late."
