You go to plays, you quiz the Cits,
Become great critics, shine as wits;
Ne'er at a loss for something caustic,
And quite at home at an acrostic:
And whilst thus flippant, sprightly, able,
Can scorn a hooting from the rabble.
I venerate your office truly,
Having but doff'd the livery newly,
And, like yourself (as I've a notion),
Am looking out for high promotion.
