Of Sailors there are Hundreds—of Soldiers there are Scores,
And lots of German Students who nought of German know,
And not a few Postillions who're not from Lonjumeau.
And many illegal Lawyers with borrow'd Wigs and Gowns,
And lively Undertakers—and melancholy Clowns,
And Debardeurs and Tomboys—and many a Bow-bell Swain,
And dressed as "Heeland Lassies," the Lasses of Cockaigne.
From Eastward and from Westward the Masks are pouring there,
The Nobbish and the Snobbish from Mile End and May Fair;
They pour from many a Mess-room—and many a Second Floor,
