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.
