| Through the corridor's echoes | B |
| Louder and nearer | C |
| Comes a great shuffling of feet | A |
| Quick every one of you | D |
| Strighten your quilts and be decent | A |
| Here's the Professor | C |
| - | |
| In he comes first | A |
| With the bright look we know | E |
| From the broad white brows the kind eyes | F |
| Soothing yet nerving you Here at his elbow | E |
| White capped white aproned the Nurse | G |
| Towel on arm and her inkstand | A |
| Fretful with quills | G |
| Here in the ruck anyhow | H |
| Surging along | I |
| Louts duffers exquisites students and prigs | G |
| Whiskers and foreheads scarf pins and spectacles | G |
| Hustles the Class And they ring themselves | G |
| Round the first bed where the Chief | J |
| His dressers and clerks at attention | K |
| Bends in inspection already | A |
| - | |
| So shows the ring | L |
| Seen from behind round a conjurer | C |
| Doing his pitch in the street | A |
| High shoulders low shoulders broad shoulders narrow ones | G |
| Round square and angular serry and shove | M |
| While from within a voice | G |
| Gravely and weightily fluent | A |
| Sounds and then ceases and suddenly | A |
| Look at the stress of the shoulders | G |
| Out of a quiver of silence | G |
| Over the hiss of the spray | C |
| Comes a low cry and the sound | A |
| Of breath quick intaken through teeth | N |
| Clenched in resolve And the Master | C |
| Breaks from the crowd and goes | G |
| Wiping his hands | G |
| To the next bed with his pupils | G |
| Flocking and whispering behind him | O |
| - | |
| Now one can see | A |
| Case Number One | K |
| Sits rather pale with his bedclothes | A |
| Stripped up and showing his foot | A |
| Alas for God's Image | P |
| Swaddled in wet white lint | A |
| Brilliantly hideous with red | A |
