nothing about.
Dumble was an ignoramus,
Borelli
Mumble was for learning famous.
Mumble said one day to Dumble:
”Ignorance should be more humble.
Not a spark have you of knowledge

Dumble said to Mumble: “Truly
You’re self-satisfied unduly.
Of things in college I’m denied
A knowledge — you of all beside.”
