Ye Robber
Ye Robber of ye olden day,
A jovial blade was he;
A short life and a merry one,
And then ye gallows-tree.
On rich and poor alike he preyed,
Nor ever did endow
A Learned University
As Robber Chiefs do now.
Ye modern robber is not known
By such an ugly name:
He does it more politely.
But he does it, just ye same.
