The Student-Life of Germany

by William Howitt

As unbounded jollity, etc.

Find I then a sweet maid and loving,

Then contains Ovidii Ars Amandi, good advice.

"Ay, but wilt thou marry me?"--"Don't be afraid;

When I've once my office got, 'twont be delayed."

Spoken.--"Aha! that's just as it happens! First I go to Jena, there to study the Nefas; then go I to Heidelberg, study there the great Fasss.[^[35]] That's the way of it."

And then comes the tug of strife,

With the Pandects, life for life.

Then after, examen, office calls, and then for marriage.

An unbounded jollity, etc.
