Queen Cram went strayingA
Where Tait was swayingA
In just hands weighingA
With care immenseB
Dry proofs made pleasantC
By Routh or BesantC
For one who hasn tD
Got too much senseB
Nor marked how quickerE
Than mounts the liquorE
In brains made thickerE
By College beerF
The murderous maidenG
Mistake walks ladenG
With tips forgotten and slips so queerF
-
How like a spiderE
She still spreads widerE
O er bookwork riderE
And problem tooH
Her flimsy curtainG
Of terms uncertainG
Till all seems dirt inI
The marker s viewH
For if Cram were notJ
Which markers spare notJ
Wise men would care notJ
To pluck too soonK
Seeing all life s seasonG
Of budding reasonG
Finds good stiff work for a wooden spoonK
-
As Tait sat jokingA
And marked while smokingA
Still slyly pokingA
Where jests might hitL
She came soft glidingA
Her false face hidingA
Rich food providingA
For Tait s sharp witL
Through symbols tangledM
The Wranglers wrangledM
Like sweet bells jangledM
And out of tuneK
For though their musicN
Would soon make you sickN
The tides they measure and guide the moonK
-
Cram found no coverE
Wherein to hoverE
For still above herE
Tait held his penO
Which onward creepingA
Might find her sleepingA
But left her weepingA
O er ruined menO
For like a blisterE
Mistake Cram s sisterE
Would wring and twist herE
In awkward waysP
Till all the knowledgeQ
Acquired at CollegeR
Had passed from thought in the last six daysP
