[Poor Graham's revil'd by licentiate herds]

Poor Graham's revil'd by licentiate herds,
'Cause he buries us half in the earth:
But sure they mean this a mere play upon words,
Or Reason would burst with her mirth:
Shall this Priest of the Passions be spoil'd of his fees,
Or annoy'd with their Fame-murdering stones?
While 'tis regular practice, the College decrees,
To bury us—body and bones.
