But ere he quitted Bounty-Hall Syntax receiv'd a serious call,
With strong expressions, to attend The wish of Doctor Dicky Bend:
And much he did anticipate The comforts which would on him wait
In the recesses of a college, Scenes of good living and of knowledge,
Which to the mind and body give The solid means for both to live.
