(Chorus)—To other fast young Undergraduates,

From The Individual. Cambridge, November 29, 1836.
The Raal Ould Irish Gintleman, the Boy of the Olden Time.
I’ll sing you a dacent song, that was made by a Paddy’s pate,
Of a raal ould Irish Gintleman who had a fine estate,
Whose mansion, it was made of mud, wid thatch and all complate,
