I have roamed at her decree;

From Binomial and Quadratics,

To the strange hyperbole.[2]

I have soared through Differential,

Deeply drunk of Finite Boole;[3]

Though its breath is pestilential,

Reeking of the hateful School.

I have tried to shape a Conic,

Vainly read the Calculus;

But my feebleness is chronic,
