When Radicals presumed at night,
With Carter’s[17] mutton-wicks to light
Their Caroline’s base treachery.
Round Hobson’s conduit quick array’d,
Each Gownsman rush’d the cause to aid,
And fast about him each one laid,
With blows that told most terribly.
Then rushing forth the Snobs among,
Fierce from the ranks the Johnian sprung,
And loud and clear the market rung,
