| Ay yoke ye to the bigots' car | A |
| Ye chosen of Alma Mater's scions | C |
| Fleet chargers drew the God of War | D |
| Great Cybele was drawn by lions | C |
| And Sylvan Pan as Poet's dream | E |
| Drove four young panthers in his team | E |
| Thus classical Lefroy for once is | C |
| Thus studious of a like turn out | F |
| He harnesses young sucking dunces | C |
| To draw him as their Chief about | F |
| And let the world a picture see | C |
| Of Dulness yoked to Bigotry | C |
| Showing us how young College hacks | C |
| Can pace with bigots at their backs | C |
| As tho' the cubs were born to draw | G |

| Reversed upon their monkish walls | C |
| Bear witness lest the world should doubt | F |
| To your mute Mother's dull renown | J |
| Then famous but for Wit turned out | F |
| And Eloquence turned upside down | J |
| But now ordained new wreaths to win | K |
| Beyond all fame of former days | C |
| By breaking thus young donkies in | K |
| To draw M P s amid the brays | C |
| Alike of donkies and M A s | C |
| Defying Oxford to surpass 'em | L |
| In this new Gradus ad Parnassum | L |
