By E A PA
In the sad and sodden streetB
To and froC
Flit the fever stricken feetB
Of the freshers as they meetB
Come and goC
Ever buying buying buyingD
Where the shopmen stand supplyingD
Vying vyingD
All they knowC
While the Autumn lies a dyingD
Sad and lowC
As the price of summer suitings when the winter breezes blowC
Of the summer summer suitings that are standing in a rowC
On the way to JerichoC
See the freshers as they rowC
To and froC
Up and down the Lower River for an afternoon or soC
For the deft manipulationE
Of the never resting oarF
Though it lead to approbationE
Will induce excoriationE
They are infinitely soreF
Keeping time time timeG
In a sort of Runic rhymeG
Up and down the way to Iffley in an afternoon or soC
Which is slowC
Do they blowC
'Tis the wind and nothing moreF
'Tis the wind that in Vacation has a tendency to goC
But the coach's objurgation and his tendency to 'score'F
Will be sated nevermoreF
See the freshers in the streetB
The eliteB
Their apparel how unquestionably neatB
How delighted at a distanceH
Inexpensively attiredI
I have wondered with persistenceH
At their butterfly existenceH
How admiredJ
And the payment O the paymentK
It is tardy for the raimentK
Yet the haberdasher gloats as he sellsL
And he tellsL
'This is bestK
To be dress'dK
Rather better than the restK
To be noticeably drestK
To be swellsL
To be swells swells swells swellsL
Swells swells swellsL
To be simply and indisputably swells 'M
See the freshers one or twoN
Just a fewN
Now on viewN
Who are sensibly and innocently newN
How they cluster cluster clusterF
Round the rugged walls of WorcesterF
See them standK
Book in handK
In the garden ground of John'sO
How they dote upon their DonsO
See in every man a BlueN
It is trueN
They are lamentably fewN
But I spiedK
Yesternight upon the staircase just a pair of boots outsideK
Upon the floorF
Just a little pair of boots upon the stairs where I resideK
Lying there and nothing moreF
And I sworeF
While these dainty twins continued sentry by the chamber doorF
That the hope their presence planted should be with me evermoreF
Should desert me nevermoreF
