Le Lecturé Malgré Lui.

(A lay for Cantabs.)

It is a Trinity Lecturer,

And he stoppeth one of eight;

By thy lantern jaws and spindle shanks.

Why dost thou make me wait?

The breakfast’s set, the men are met,

And I am peckish—very.

It’s late already—hark! that roar!

May’st hear them getting merry.
