By statutes govern'd and with rules oppress'd.
When all these forms and duties die away,
And the day passes like the former day,
Then, of exterior things at once bereft,
He's to himself and one attendant left;
Nay, John too goes; nor aught of service more
Remains for him; he gladly quits the door,
400
And, as he whistles to the college-gate,
He kindly pities his poor master's fate.
