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.
