Look as the full-fed hound or gorged hawk,
Unapt for tender smell or speedy flight,
Make slow pursuit, or altogether balk

As for English I agree, we didn't learn much, aside that canning sardines has a huge history to it and that sitting beneath trees help people become enlightened. Lovely.

Oh dear- I'm sorry Iszy, but I'm sure it wasn't that bad. You're the kind of person who's like "oh I can't read this in class- it's dreadful" and it is really great.
