The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance, be thine in great revenue! heaven bless thee from a tutor, and discipline come not near thee!

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker offers an insult in the language of a blessing, wishing the listener an abundant supply of folly and ignorance. They then hope that no teacher or discipline interrupts it. The mock generosity turns the prospect of remaining foolish into a deliberately malicious gift.
