Where lies a student in profound repose,
Oppress’d with ale, wide-echos thro’ the gloom
The droning music of his vocal nose.
Within those walls, where thro’ the glimm’ring shade
Appear the pamphlets in a mold’ring heap,
Each in his narrow bed till morning laid,
The peaceful fellows of the college sleep.
The tinkling bell proclaiming early pray’rs,
The noisy servants rattling o’er their head,
The calls of business, and domestic cares,
