Oh Master Pedagogue since you have no knowledge
Why gaze so anxiously on your property in expectant desire
They all talk arguing about their cleverness
You of ceremonial uncleanness only.
Payne 1898 - 445
If aught of sense, O doctor, O casuist, thou possess,
Look not on men of wit with all this jealousness:
They all of the Creator and His creation speak;
Thou of the menstrual blood and other nastiness.
Thompson 1906 - 791
O learned doctor! if there 's sense in thee,
Look not on worthy folk with enmity;
They talk of the Creator and His works,
Thou of blood courses and obscenity!
