CONCLUSION.

I thought to pass some time ago, but hang it, here I am,

Having "muckered" in a certain Mathematical Exam.

I have been "excused the General," and my reverent Tutor thinks

I must take up Natural Science, which is commonly called "Stinks."

O sweet is academic life within these ancient walls,

And sweet are Cambridge pleasures—boating, billiards, breakfasts, balls;

But sweeter far about this time than all these things to me

Would be the acquisition of my Bachelor's Degree.
