He drank his glass and crack'd his joke,

And freshmen wonder'd as he spoke.

Such pleasures, unalloy'd with care,

Could any accident impair?

Could Cupid's shaft at length transfix

Our swain, arrived at thirty-six?

Oh, had the Archer ne'er come down

To ravage in a country town!

Or Flavia been content to stop

At triumphs in a Fleet-street shop!
