'I cannot but remember such things were	A
And were most dear to me '	B
	-
WHEN slow Disease with all her host of pains	C
Chills the warm tide which flows along the veins	C
When Health affrighted spreads her rosy wing	D
And flies with every changing gale of spring	D
Not to the aching frame alone confined	E
Unyielding pangs avail the drooping mind	E
What grisly forms the spectre train of woe	F
Bid shuddering Nature shrink beneath the blow	F
With Resignaion wage relentless strife	G
While Hope retires appall'd and clings to life	G
Yet less the pang when through the tedious hour	A
Remembrance sheds around her genial power	A
Calls back the vanish'd days to rapture given	H
When love was bliss and Beauty form'd our heaven	H
Or dear to youth portrays each childish scene	I
Those farry bowers where all in turn have been	J
As when through clouds that pour the sumrner storm	K
The orb of day unveils his distant form	K
Gilds with faiht beams the crystal dews of rain	L
And dimly twinkles o'er the watery plain	L
Thus while the future dark and cheerless gleams	M
The sun of memory glowing through my drearns	M
Though sunk' the radiance of his former blaze	M
To scenes far distant points his paler rays	M
Still rules my senses with unbounded sway	N
The past confounding with the present day	N
	-
Oft does my heart indulge the rising thought	O
Which still recurs uniook'd for and Unsought	O
My soul to Fancy's fond suggestion yields	M
And roams romantic o'er her airy fields	M
Scenes of my youth developed crowd to view	P
To which I long have bade a last adieu	P
Seats of delight inspiring youthful themes	M
Friends lost to me for aye except in dreams	M
Some who in marble prematurely sleep	Q
Whose forms I now remember but to weep	Q
Some who yet urge the same scholastic course	M
Of early science future fame the source	M
Who still contending in the studious race	M
In quick rotation fill the senior place	M
These with a thousand visions now unite	O
To dazzle though they please my aching sight	O
Ida blest spot where science holds her reign	L
How joyous once I join'd thv youthful train	L
Bright in idea gleams thy lofty spire	R
Again I mingle with thy playful quire	R
Our tricks of mischief every childish game	S
Unchanged by time or distance seem the same	S
Through winding paths along the glade I trace	M
The social smile of every welcome face	M
My wonted haunts my scenes of joy and woe	F
Each early boyish friend or youthful foe	F
Our feuds dissolved but not my friendship past	O
I bless the former and forgive the last	O
Hours of my youth when nurtured in my breast	O
To love a stranger friendship made me blest	O
Friendship the dear peculiar bond of youth	T
When every artless bosom throbs with truth	T
Untaught my worldly wisdom how to feign	L
And check each impulse with prudential rein	L
When all we feel our honest souls disclose	M
In love to friends in open hate to toes	M
No varnish'd tales the lips of youth repeat	O
No dear bought knowledge purchased by deceit	O
Hypocrisy the gift of lengthen'd years	M
Matured by age the garb of prudence wears	M
When now the boy is ripen'd into man	U
His careful sire chalks forth some wary plan	U
Instructs his son from candour's path to shrink	V
Smoothly to speak and cauautiously to think	V
Still to assent and never to deny	W
A patron's praise can well reward the lie	W
And who when Fortune's warning voice is heard	O
Would lose his opening prospects for a word	O
Although against that word his heart rebel	X
And truth indignant all his bosom swell	Y
	-
Away with themes like this not mine the task	Z
From flattering friends to tear the hateful mask	Z
Let keener bards delight in satire's sting	D
My fancy soars not on Detraction's wing	D
Once and but once she aim'd a deadly blow	F
To hurl defiance on a secret foe	F
But when that foe from feeling or from shame	S
The cause unknown yet still to me the same	S
Warn'd by some friendly hint perchance retired	O
With this submission all her rage expired	O
From dreaded pangs that feeble foe to save	A2
She hush'd her young resentment and forgave	A2
Or my muse a pedant's portrait drew	P
POMPOSUS' virtues are but known to few	P
I never fear'd the young usurper's nod	O
And he who wields must sometimes feel the rod	O
If since on Granta's failings known to all	B2
Who share the converse of a college hall	B2
She sometimes trifled in a lighter strain	L
'Tis past and thus she will not sin again	C2
Soon must her early song for ever cease	M
And all may rsii when I shall rest in peace	M
	-
Here first remember'd be the joyous band	O
Who hail'd me chief obedient to command	O
Who join'd with rne in every boyish sport	O
Their first adviser and their last resort	O
Nor shrunk beneath the upstart pedant's frown	D2
Or all the sable glories of his gown	D2
Who thus transplanted from his father's school	E2
Unfit to govern ignorant of rule	E2
Succeeded him whom all unite to praise	M
The dear preceptor of my early days	M
PROBUS the pride of science and the boast	O
To IDA now alas for ever lost	O
With him for years we search'd the classic page	F2
And fear'd the master though we loved the sage	F2
Retired at last' his small yet peacefull seat	O
From learning's labour is the blest retreat	O
POMPOSUS fills his magisterial chair	G2
POMPOSUS governs but my muse forbear	G2
Contempt in silence be the pedant's lot	O
His name and precepts be alike forgot	O
No more his mention shall my verse degrade	O
To him my tribute is already paid	O
	-
High through those elms with hoary branches crown'd	O
Fair Ida's bower adorns the landscape round	O
There Science from her favour'd seat surveys	M
The vale where rural Nature claims her praise	M
To her awhile resigns her youthful train	L
Who move in joy and dance along the plain	L
In scatter'd groups each favour'd haunt pursue	P
Repeat old pastimes and discover new	P
Flush'd with his rays beneath the noon tide sun	H
In rival bands between the wickets run	H
Drive o'er the sward the ball with active force	M
Or chase with nimble feet its rapid course	M
But these with slower steps direct their way	N
Where Brent's cool waves in limpid currents stray	N
While yonder few search out some green retreat	O
And arbours shade them from the summer heat	O
Others again a pert and lively crew	P
Some rough and thoughtless stranger placed in view	P
With frolic quaint their antic jests expose	M
And tease the grumbling rustic as he goes	M
Nor rest with this but many a passing fray	N
Tradition treasures for a future day	N
'Twas here the gather'd swains for vengeance fought	O
And here we earn'd the conquest dearly bought	O
Here have we fled before superior might	O
And here renew'd the wild tumultuous fight '	-
While thus our souls with early passions swell	Y
In lingering tones resounds the distant bell	Y
Th' allotted hour of daily sport is o'er	G2
And Learning beckons from her temple's door	G2
No splendid tablets grace her simple hall	B2
But ruder records fill the dusky wall	B2
There deeply carved behold each tyro's name	S
Secures its owner's academic fame	S
Here mingling view the names of sire and son	H
The one long graved the other just begun	H
These shall survive alike when son and sire	G2
Beneath one common stroke of fate expire	G2
Perhaps their last memorial these alone	H2
Denied in death a monumental stone	H2
Whilst to the gale in mournful cadence wave	A2
The sighing weeds that hide their nameless grave	A2
And here my name and many an early friend's	M
Along the wall in lengthen'd line extends	M
Though still our deeds amuse the youthful race	M
Who tread our steps and fill our former place	M
Who young obey'd their lords in silent awe	I2
Whose nod commanded and whose voice was law	J2
And now in turn possess the reins of power	G2
To rule the little tyrants of an hour	G2
Though sometimes with the tales of ancient day	N
They pass the dreary winter's eve away	N
'And thus our former rulers stemm'd the tide	O
And thus they dealt the com	K2
