From The Angler’s Journal, May 1, 1886.


Three Freshers.

Three Freshers went sailing out into the street,

Out into the street for a ‘town and gown,’

Each thought of the foeman he longed to meet

And the Bull-dogs stood watching them out in the town.

Through ‘High’ and ‘Broad’ the Proctor must sweep,

And the fifth of November is hard to keep

When such myrmidons are roaming.
