Full well he knows this office to acquit,
And must be own'd for college business fit,
Oe'r passive fellows skill'd to domineer,
And grant to few the favour of his ear.
From Brazen and D---e he learnt the arts
To pick their pockets, while he gains their hearts
To be ador'd for breaking all their laws,
And tyrannize with safety and applause.
And must be own'd for college business fit,

To pick their pockets, while he gains their hearts
To be ador'd for breaking all their laws,
And tyrannize with safety and applause.
