THE LIFE OF A COLLEGIAN.
Those who may think a life at college
Fagging and tagging, poring, boring,
Haven't their nobs o'erstocked with knowledge;
Life in a college is full of glee;
'Tis learning, quaffing, joking, laughing,
Cheating the grave wigs, so merrily;
Revelling, cavilling, holidays, jolly days,
Logic and sophistry thought go free.
[OMITTED]

Cheating the grave wigs, so merrily;
Revelling, cavilling, holidays, jolly days,
Logic and sophistry thought go free.

Those who may think, &c.
Fellows at college, rare odd fellows,
Very good fellows, getting mellow,
Carol old Rose, and burn the bellows.
Jolly young students, tutors grave,
Proctors cheating, slily meeting,
Slighting the sages, some pretty girl's slave;
Funning and punning, and dunning aud running,
Caring for nought if their bacon they save.

Those who may think, &c.
Doctors, proctors—Greek and Latin,
Cursed dry study, brain gets muddy—
Tutor pops a sentence pat in;
Gain a degree, make holiday—
Read old Homer, get diploma,
While others are plucked and sent away;
Spluttering, muttering, hammering, stammering,
We are the true Geeeks—huzza! huzza!
