Read the following lines and answer the questions that follow.

Lord, the *** have had too much work already.

Why should we learn again from foreign books,

About all kinds of things, we’ve never seen?

And then, their school is far too sad,

Just as sad as these gentlemen of the city.

These real gentlemen

Who do not even know how to dance by the light of the moon,

Who do not even know how to walk on the flesh of their feet,

Who do not even know how to tell the tales of their fathers

By the light of their nightly fires.

O Lord, I do not want to go into their school again.

(i) Why does the speaker feel that *** have no use for foreign books?

(ii) What does the speaker say about the school?

(iii) What do the ‘real gentlemen’ not know to do?
