Several stanzas of this poem have been set to music by Irving Fine. This work is available in choral arrangement, and is popular with High School and College choirs. DaRube (talk) 04:06, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are there not several stanzas missing from this poem here?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.216.108.60 (talk) 04:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC) For example, I remember:[reply]

"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
   And make errors few people could bear;
You complain about everyone's English but yours --
   Do you really think this is quite fair?"

"I make lots of mistakes," Father William declared,
   "But my stature these days is so great
That no critic can hurt me -- I've got them all scared,
   And to stop me it's now far too late."
