Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHGHGIGIG GJGJKLKLMGMGGNGNIOIOMy Juggins see the pasture green | A |
Obeying Nature's kindly law | B |
Renews its mantle there has been | C |
A thaw | B |
The frost bound earth is free at last | D |
That lay 'neath Winter's sullen yoke | E |
'Till people felt it getting past | D |
A joke | E |
Now forth again the Freshers fare | F |
And get them tasty summer suits | G |
Wherein they flaunt afield and scare | F |
The brutes | G |
Again the stream suspects the keel | H |
Again the shrieking captain drops | G |
Upon his crew again the meal | H |
Of chops | G |
Divides the too laborious day | I |
Again the Student sighs o'er Mods | G |
And prompts his enemies to lay | I |
Long odds | G |
Again the shopman spreads his wiles | G |
Again the organ pipes unbound | J |
Distract the populace for miles | G |
Around | J |
Then Juggins ere December's touch | K |
Once more the wealth of Spring reclaim | L |
Since each successive year is much | K |
The same | L |
Since too the monarch on his throne | M |
In purple lapped and frankincense | G |
Who from his infancy has blown | M |
Expense | G |
No less than he who barely gets | G |
The boon of out of door relief | N |
Must see desuetude come let's | G |
Be brief | N |
At those resolves last New Year's Day | I |
The easy gods indulgent wink | O |
Then downward ho the shortest way | I |
Is drink | O |
