- | |
In the oldest of our alleys | B |
By good bejants tenanted | C |
Once a man whose name was Wallace | D |
William Wallace reared his head | C |
Rowdy Bejant in the college | E |
He was styled | C |
Never had these halls of knowledge | F |
Welcomed waster half so wild | C |
- | |
Tassel blue and long and silken | G |
From his cap did float and flow | A |
This was cast into the Swilcan | G |
Two months ago | A |
And every gentle air that sported | C |
With his red gown | G |
Displayed a suit of clothes reported | C |
The most alarming in the town | G |
- | |
Wanderers in that ancient alley | H |
Through his luminous window saw | I |
Spirits come continually | H |
From a case well packed with straw | I |
Just behind the chair where sitting | J |
With air serene | G |
And in a blazer loosely fitting | J |
The owner of the bunk was seen | G |
- | |
And all with cards and counters straying | J |
Was the place littered o'er | K |
With which sat playing playing playing | J |
And wrangling evermore | L |
A group of fellows whose chief function | G |
Was to proclaim | M |
In voices of surpassing unction | G |
Their luck and losses in the game | M |
- | |
But stately things in robes of learning | J |
Discussed one day the bejant's fate | C |
Ah let us mourn him unreturning | J |
For they resolved to rusticate | C |
And now the glory he inherits | N |
Thus dished and doomed | C |
Is largely founded on the merits | N |
Of the Old Tom consumed | C |
- | |
And wanderers now within that alley | H |
Through the half open shutters see | H |
Old crones that talk continually | H |
In a discordant minor key | H |
While with a kind of nervous shiver | K |
Past the front door | L |
His former set go by for ever | K |
But knock or ring no more | L |
