A Dangerous Generalization


A TUTOR bidding one of his pupils, whose name was Charles Howl, to make

some English verses, and seeing he put teeth to rhyme with feet,

told him he was wrong there, as that was no proper rhyme. Charles

answered, You have often told me that H was no letter, and therefore

this is good rhyme. His tutor said, Take heed, Charles, of that

evasion, for that will make you an owl.
